Overview

The hardware adopts modular design and can be extended through the USB interface. The operating system adopts the open-source Ubuntu Linux. Only host, not display.

The purpose is to establish a home control center, home entertainment center, and Home Network Center, build a basic platform for Digital Home, and achieve three-in-one network.

Main functions

1. set-top box: able to receive digital signals

2. Supports recording TV programs, playing a variety of movie files, and attaching an external US interface hard disk.

3. You can access the Internet, browse webpages, and receive emails.

4. The remote control has a microphone and a receiver, which can be used as a Skype phone.
