Is it possible to install Ubuntu (or any other Linux distro) on a Tivo?

Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Is this a Tivo from DirectTV?

Tivo's are typically very underpowered and yes they can run a simple Linux distribution, but it wouldn't very fun to.

However, you could probably put something like Damn Small Linux on it.

If I were you I would leave it alone or sell it on eBay or something.

It's not a Tivo from DirecTV and my goal is to attempt to install Boxee on it and use it as a media center that way. Thanks for the info!
