Akimbo Hacks Part 2: VGA Port Installation

Forum member Cerberus continues to hack away at his Akimbo IP1150, and this time he has added a VGA port to the box.

I can’t wait to see what the final product will look like when he is finished modding it.

RCA Akimbo Serial Port Hack

Forum member Cerberus has a walkthrough on his web site demonstrating how you can add a serial port to an RCA Akimbo IP TV/PVR box, enabling you to gain console access to the machine.  It is a pretty easy hack, but really its the first step in hacking these things for personal use.

Not familiar with the Akimbo?  That’s ok, Cerberus has a nice introduction and specification post for you as well.
