   brushed steel, aluminum or stainless steel. Whoopy Do! I wrote it before   
   that was reported sir. I can brush aluminum with a damn wire brush if I want   
   to spend all day or use the motorized sander with the right wheel. Geez,   
   aluminum and steel. Not much to identify it.

   Sir, for the most part, the chip inside set-top boxes are capable of   
   handling multiple line inputs like VCRs... ok. So wire it in internally.   
   Often the chip is an ATI Xilleon 220 or equivelent and it can digitally   
   switch between 2-3 AV inputs and the tuner. The line input is to input the   
   video feed to go out the one line output. Just like a VCR does it. The   
   tricky part is the hard drive part and getting access to it as a storage   
   unit and retrieving games.
