SamyGo project aims to add new features to Samsung HDTVs

There's something about the ability to access a command line interface on our hardware that is empowering and if that was the only thing that the SamyGo project was trying to accomplish, we'd still find it interesting, but it's not. The must practical goal is the new found ability to use other WiFi dongles besides Samsung's $80 one, but SMB and other things make it easier to get more content on your HDTV. Either way, we love to hack some stuff up and only wish we had a Samsung TV to try this out for ourselves.

Sounds very exciting! But as soon as they break HDCP on this device, a whole world of pain is going to come down.

The manual for my series 6 prints the GPL and LGPL at the end so I'm not surprised its running Linux underneath. Lots of set top boxes do too. Not sure I'd want to risk bricking an expensive TV though by installing dodgy firmware.

Who cares, my years of Samsung HDTV ownership is just about over and whatever I upgrade to will have a matte screen, so bye-bye Samsung.
