I'm keeping half an eye on this sort of news since I recently began 
exploring the world of media streaming boxes running Android. Let me see 
if I understand in broad terms what's at stake in this blog posting and 
its relevance to this list: this would provide a way of, for example, 
getting HDMI output streaming from, say, a STB, in to a recordable format, 
correct? I don't have a STB myself and tend to avoid viewing protected 
content, so the write-up will not be too applicable to me if that's one of 
the main imports. All the same I'd like to determine whether I'm 
understanding correctly the issues at stake.
