Netgem N8200

by taoora

Hello

not sure if this is the appropriate sub but anyways

Ive found a Netgem N8200 burried somewhere in my attic and decided it might come in handy to set up an IPTV somehow. The box itself is from a local ISP so it obviously has their OS or something running. If I connect it to my TV and to the internet (different ISP then the Netgem) it doesnt really do anything, it stops before it loads to the interface.

Im wondering if there's a possibility to update the interface to some free internet tv or anything? My computer knowledge isnt that big so I have no idea if thats even possible..what can I even do with this Netgem thing? Id like to put it to good use somehow. Anyways these are the specs https://www.netgem.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf-investors/1317112216_ProductSheet-N8200.pdf

Thanks in advance

That box is loaded with proprietary software. Prolly not anything 3rd party to flash to it so its essentially a paper wait unless its used with the original service provider

I wouldn't get my hopes up. Even if you could hack it... the specs don't exactly inspire confidence. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 8655 at 500MHz and 256MB RAM? Keep the hard drive and wifi, and toss the mobo - maybe use the case for a Raspberry Pi.
