Aren’t a lot of these boxen running open source Linux? Linux is as hackproof as it is administered to be. If it is a box where everything merrily runs as root, expect issues.

Could be. IDK.

What I do know is that line-of-sight access likely isn’t required to do what is being claimed.

Cableboxs for some companies have cameras and mic’s for the cable company to monitor. Linux is not hack proof.
