For you viewing enjoyment, I present: WDLXTV-LIVE-0.1 a try-before-you-buy special presentation
First off theres no danger in trying this, it does not flash itself instead running ext3-boot style. When you are done using it you will have to flash the official update to get your wdtv live out of upgrade mode. I include a link to it below.
Its mostly the basics right now (ssh/telnet/ftp), but includes all the random/hidden tweaks & enhancements of wdlxtv. Its ready for app.bins & Optware as well. Keeping it a non-flasher until its deemed stable.
