[wplug] Webtv hacks?

[Luquilla Hughes]

That was really more of what I was thinking about although the iopener 
didn't come with a hard drive either but had a controller card.
I also looked for linux webtv sites and did not find any. although I did run 
across a site that listed the suspected specs, 
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/9319/specs.html ,
(please forgive the geocities url, but that's where it was) and also found 
out that by default webtv tracks your web and tv viewing trends.

here's a link to specs on cnet.
If anyone is interested in hacking this for Linux, I saw it at the red, 
white and blue off of route 65 in Belleview.
