Maybe I think too simply, but in my eyes this box is nothing but a computer equiped with some specific hardware. The hardest part was to break the protection to get it run our own code. From that point what code we run on that machine depends purely on our knowledge. We don't even need to reinvent the wheel as all the codes are available with or without reverse-engineering. The bigest problem I can see here is not the lack of knowledge but the lack of interest in playing around with it as not every one has the proper soldering skill to make the modchip, especially on those models with no JTAG points.
We could say a big THANK YOU to BT in making landfill materials.

Thanks, Mick, for the answer. Having read the posts, I have a feeling that the WinCE way would lead to nowhere. Who wants trouble with BT or M$ after investing lot of efforts writing a C# client that makes the box useful and be knocked on the door? I would go the Linux way, find the tuner driver and port the Engima to this box.
Sorry for not being helpful with my post, guys.

Hello,
I am new here. I got a BT box on car boot sale, primarily for the hard drive. I was about to give the box (without HDD) away when I came across this site. I've read the posts but I still don't see what the point is to have a modded box that needs HDD to operate but cannot record any programme? Of cource, I am talking about using the box without BT subscription. Although the box has HDMI output it does not seem to support DVB-T2, so why is it better than any cheap Freeview box you can get for a few quids?
