A Ready-Made MythTV Set-Top Box in Australia

Posted by timothy on from the plug-and-go dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Australian Personal Computer magazine published a review of a new all-in-one set-top-box based on linux. A quick analysis of the device yields some cheats/hacks that not only allow you to enable the advertisment skipping feature they disabled, but could allow system compromise. The system also runs a GPL version of MythTV - anyone else see any licensing issues?" Only if they don't follow the GPL.

    Picture YOUR family, tied up in the basement with a sock in their mouths. You try to open the door but there's too much blood on the knob.
