I've just been experimenting with a slug (debian armel and novatv USB
receiver.). I got as far as running hte setup prog (slowly) and tuning
a load of channels, so it works to that degree. Not had it actually
recording/playing a stream yet.

I was hoping to use this box because it's the only one that's on all
the time, but I suspect it doesn't have enough welly. In which case
I'll use a balloonboard instead as it's the same power consumption but
256/384MB RAM
