Dunno if anybody's interested, but the Bush tv-web set-top box
is on clearance sale here:

http://www.thecomputershop.co.uk/showpackage.php?prodid=10443

for £8.99 (yes, £8.99) rather than the original £200
comes with the STB, keyboard, scart lead, phone lead

...and can be modded to run linux:

it can also be modded to use another ISP:

Just thought it might be of interest.
