Wouldn't be the first set top box to run BBC Basic.
Many years ago I did some development for the KIT platform that used
Pace DSL 4000 boxes. These were based on the Acorn Risc PC and could be
given a *BASIC command to drop them into BBC Basic V.

Actually, I would be right up for writing a BBC Basic
interpreter for set-top boxes. Probably have to have some MHEG5-type
interface, but the idea is quite workable.
Not sure about how to make it support XML yet...

Funnily enough I was thinking about the same thing a
couple of days
ago, somehow I fear that devices conforming to the
Canvas Project
specification won't have some sort of BBC Basic built
in!
