This isn't the first time someone has offered a bounty to hack the Linux-based Neuros OSD, but if successful, this hack could have some very interesting implications. The goal is to get the Neuros to piggyback on the TiVo's recording schedule and make MPEG-4 recordings that can be simultaneously transferred onto a portable device like a laptop or an iPhone. There are two segments to the bounty, with a cash reward that totals $3500. It sounds pretty cool, but whether it can be done is up to you. [DVRupgrade]

At the risk of sounding pedantic, is it really hacking when the whole point of the Neuros is it's open source and meant to encourage community development?
I suppose "hacking" sounds cooler these days than "programming"!
wait, what programs are already out for the thing, or so far is it just a linux box with nothing on it so far
@LITTLEJON - take another look at the bounties, especially bounty #2 (the $2500 one); there is also a TiVo component to it and that most definitely will require some hacking, or a sufficiently 'programmed' TiVo so that you can access it from the shell and TiVoWebPlus...
