(Both TV on Demand and TV Broadcasting). I bought a Video Station branded by my carrier and surprisingly I found that the operating system the use is a modified version of linux. It was possible for me to see it because the Videostation Itself is just a PC with an Ethernet Card on it and it does boot from remotely. I sniffed tftp traffic upon boot and in it it is possible to recognize linux, over that the / dir is mounted over NFS and it was possible for me to see more and more file belonging to it. I then asked my seller if they use linux on my VideoStation and call center tell me yes, but the call center people don't know where to find source code of their linux version. I contacted the the real producer of the videostation but they told me the the contract they have with the carrier told they sell without OS videostatiuons to them. What to do now ? The Videostation is produced by http://www.telsey.com/ Product is http://www.telsey.com/products/product.jsp?pid=254&fid=13 The ISP is http://www.fastweb.it/ Sorry but this page is just in Italian. Hope this could help in resolving it Bye - -- Alessandro Sappia GPG Public Key http://keyserver.linux.it/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBYT8vyOULaTtxqPERAjQUAKCTGKlVIQ48UaSHfBm/dOeZ9DXSvACgxDTs xf0bo3p6dvmqQMADH70lNyQ= =0XTK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
