Sony Dig Sat receiver SAT w-60 - quetions

I think it's more trouble than it's worth. You would have to:

1) Replace the hard drive with a bigger model
2) Obtain and restore a drive image for a SAT-T60
3) "Hack" the software to allow you to enable networking
4) Obtain a compatible USB network adapter
5) Rip the DVDs to MPEG2 and use MFS-FTP to transfer them to the SAT-T60
6) Connect the SAT-T60 by S-Video (best connection available) to your TV

The result would be that you could play the videos, but at lower resolution than a DVD player connected by component or HDMI.

I think there are far better ways of accomplishing what you want that probably don't cost much more than what you'd have to put into the SAT-T60.
