A Korean company has shipped a USB-based HDTV decoder -- that is, a box you plug into your PC's USB port and use to receive high-defintion TV signals. I wonder how "open" this device is -- under the proposed Broadcast Flag rules, if open-source drivers can be written for it, it might be illegal.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
