I think it started with MHEG engines for DVB, and EPG. Next they
started adding things like SD and USB with media viewers. This one's
got an ethernet port that's currently unused, but some use them for
streaming media playback.
The problem is the usual one - things that don't quite behave as you
want them to, or functions the hardware's capable of but they
haven't implemented.
Is the firmware's source available somewhere?

This has source tarballs for a few packages. I've not found the firmware
itself available for download.
The URL is given along with the text of the GPL and LGPL v2 under the
Software Licence menu. It notes that some of the software is GPL, some LGPL
and some software developed by third parties and available under certain
terms and conditions.
