Probably Easily Moddable HDMI capture box

This looks like one of the most easily moddable boxes I have ever seen. It is sold by a UK company Maplin and is called a "Maplin Game Capture HD" .

It is an HDMI capture box up to 1080p that has three modes capture to SD card, stream to network and capture to PC via USB. For game play, but can capture any HDMI input (non-HDCP).

The reason it's potentially easily moddable is that a telnet to port 23 in network mode gives you a root shell on it straight away. With a fully writeable root file system.

So far I have used this to start an FTP daemon that lets me FTP files straight from the SD Card though the NIC is a bit slow. Stole the command from their /plbin/start_ftpd.sh file and run "tcpsvd -vE 0.0.0.0 21 ftpd -w /".

There is a also a web interface for debug, that can be started with cd /plbin; ./test_web.sh. I may have had to set the WEBPAGE_LANGUAGE to "en" in nvram, to allow it to start. "/bin/plnvram wr WEBPAGE_LANGUAGE en"

The admin password for the web interface is just blank.

Very interestingly, if you use their app to display the streamed content from this device it allows you to see HDCP content, just not record it. I have so far had no need to look into this.

Lots of other functionality looks just commented out in the configs.

The web interface tells me this device is actually a SIGMA-PL330B,

And may well be the same (or a repackaged) version of this box :

HS602 as they seem to use the same app to display the stream.
