Can I possibly run a tv-watching software with tv-tuner-card on a computer which has
1-32mb ram.
2-250Mhz cpu 
I bought this SoC for 50$ from ebay a while ago. Its about 3" x 5".
I was thinking may be I can turn it into PVR + entertainment unit.
usb tv-tuner = 63$
22" lcd monitor = 149$
HardDisk to store= I think I can arange one.
Thanks.

Even better: xbox
Xbox Linux is GNU/Linux on your Xbox
The Xbox is a legacy-free PC by Microsoft that consists of an Intel Celeron 733 MHz CPU, an nVidia GeForce 3MX, 64 MB of RAM, a 8/10 GB hard disk, a DVD drive and 10/100 Ethernet. As on every PC, you can run Linux on it.
An Xbox with Linux can be a full desktop computer with mouse and keyboard, a web/email box connected to TV, a server or router or a node in a cluster. You can either dual-boot or use Linux only; in the latter case, you can replace both IDE devices. And yes, you can connect the Xbox to a VGA monitor.
Can't do it yourself? We can install Linux on your Xbox - for free!
Re: chota sa computer.
Every tv tuner card should also list the system requirement ...
I doubt that 32 mb ram is enough for that
Re: chota sa computer.
With in same price rang you can buy a good desktop . I think you should invest in that .
Re: chota sa computer.

Re: chota sa computer.

^So what's the name of the Linux Distro for Xbox? I had one sitting around, tried selling it, maybe it is sold, dunno. Haven't used it in 2-3 years, since they stopped producing games for it :(
