Kiwis are fried. Day by day.

Steps to get into the digicorder shell:

1) open the device (you should know how to do this)
2) get an FTDI cable. 3,3V and 5V should do. DO NOT PUT 12V on UART0!
3) connect to UART0. Pinout:

  V
---------------------
|    | RX | TX | GND|
---------------------

The empty pin is the marked one. Then it's RX/TX/GND. Connect crossed, as usual.
4) break before the main.elf start. Windows users on hyperterminal: Control+C. Other users: you'll know what to do.
5) start networking: /root/dhcpc.sh
6) start telnet: telnetd
7) resume booting: /etc/init.d/rcS

8) Enjoy root access to your set top box.

What to do next?

* do something usefull with it
* add ftp server
* make breakfast
* sleep.

OpenWRT packages run on it. No firmware, only repo.

Root FS is read only. RAM disks are not. RAM disks carry noexec flag.

http://youtu.be/Qv13_h9_UFg brace yourselves, records are coming. Requires no hack, only a second digicorder/box and
a network topology Telenet doesn't like.

Update doesn't fix anything. No changes compromising the hack. Still Control+C.
