in advance of the broken ARM(-based architecture)
Roku has complied with the GPL and released the source code to its new Netflix set top box. This is the big step toward hackers breaking the thing open and loading custom software onto it, which would be pretty great. A wifi-enabled STB with HDMI output would, if untethered from Netflix, be a steal at $100. My hacked Xbox 1 performs (or performed) a similar function, streaming video from a drive on my network. But it's not capable of HD resolutions.
Actually, it's not an ARM processor. But the real chipset wouldn't have provided a title that affords nearly so much smug self-satisfaction.
