This is about the most info I can find about the Bush Internet.tv from a
technical port of view:

Subject: internet.tv hacking
To: None <port-arm32@netbsd.org>
From: Ben Harris <bjh21@netbsd.org>
List: port-arm32

After seeing lots of discussion on comp.sys.acorn.hardware on the
subject, I gave in and spent GBP79.99 on a Bush IBX-101. I've been
poking it this evening, and it looks like making it run NetBSD/arm32
should be fairly easy. I've created a project in the projects database
for this (using the box's built-in Web browser). FWIW, the box
contains:
ARM7500
Lucent 33,600 ISA modem connected as podule 0
Some PC super-IO controller for the parallel port
8Mb SIMM
Some weird NVRAM (not the usual PCF8583)
Not a lot else.

I've emailed Ben to ask if he ever got anywhere, but haven't had a reply
yet. The ARM 7500 has an ARM7 core so I'd guess Linux or NetBSD
shouldn't be /too/ hard to get up and running on it - the specs of the
built in video controller are downloadable from ARM's website.
