DSTV PVR re-programme

[DCalitz]

Has anyone ever tried using a DSTV decoder to re-programme as a media player?
Is it even possible to load another OS?? surely it's just a box with HDD, so should be able to with correct tools.

There are a few 100'000 of them out there. DSTV lost 350K premium subscribers the last 2 years. The majority would have had pvr's. If you can find them and reprogram them you could be rich.
