Linux  Satellite Receiver

One of the most powerful satellite receiver we have come across.
This Linux Satellite is the first Linux based DVB Receiver. This  500S receiver runs on open-source software developed by hundreds of developers around the world. The  500S is the ultimate machine. If you're looking for a VERY powerful unit, and something to have fun on then this is for you.

   
This receiver  can  record straight to your pc and so much more.
