I'm seeking recommendations for one of those boxes that reads video from Ethernet, decompresses it and feeds it to a TV. Must have: wired Ethernet in s-video NTSC out audio line out (typically via "RCA jacks") works with FreeBSD handles mpeg2 transport streams 480i, 720p 1080i good "tricks" modes seek fast forward slow motion, various speeds, both directions freeze frame advance 1 frame at a time, both directions closed captions zoom in/out (handle 4:3 pillarboxed within 16:9, ...) Bonus points for: time counter frame grabber (save a .png or whatever as a file) digital out (dvi, hdmi, displayport, ...) free/open source X11 server Some boxes fail with higher bitrate programs, don't handle the so-called "tricks" modes well, have unreliable hardware, ...
