It is a Linux box, same as a DBox. Your box will do everything that a DBox can do .

First of all do you live in the UK/Ireland. If you live in Ireland, you can get some limited use out of it, but not the full usage that you can get in the UK

I had lincsat to upload a modded image of my DW to the private FTA. Its there, but you need some more meaningfull posts to access the private FTA. You can also search the net and find some images that you like. Popular ones include PLI, Digital Kaos, Digtal worldz and then you can learn to transfer keys over Transfering Magic Files

The image is a software You will need to flash this software using dreamup or telnet. Once you post some more you will get access to the private FTA(not yet) Have you ever dealt with Dbox's?
