The hacking community is (generally) more than happy to help those who help themselves. Scan the FAQ, look through the listed link (and maybe some links from there), look at the manufacturer’s website or the top-listed google site.
To answer the question that you didn’t ask: Don’t simply ask a question that you should be able to find for yourself in short order.
If streaming files was an easy thing to do on this box, the connector would probably still be there. It has an ethernet connection that was removed. So, a stock box will not do what you want to do. The second link I got was a Wal-Mart Q&A, and the first question is: Does this also play video files from a hard drive and if so what file formats does it play or is it only for streaming? This is a basic idea:Ĭheck the top one or two useful-looking links I think what he was saying was you should easily be able to find out that information yourself.

If you happen to have one of these at home, or are planning on buying one, be sure to check out his project page and contribute any information you might be able to glean from it. That’s about all the poking around he has done thus far, but seeing as the box can output a 1080p signal over HDMI, it could be a cheap substitute for an Apple TV or similar device. So far, he’s managed to get a serial console running on the device, along with an additional USB host connection. The networking components are based on the Broadcom BCM7615 chipset, though it looks to that the Ethernet jack was removed at some point during production.
The device is MIPS based and runs the Linux kernel version 2.6.28.9 right out of the box. He started a project page for the box, detailing some of his findings thus far. He scored the RCA DSB772WE media streaming box for $48, and so far it looks like it could be a promising addition to his living room. Wrote in to share some details of a cheap little gadget he picked up at his local Wal-Mart.
