RADON Open Source Interactive Television Framework

Massive Interactive writes "We have released an Open Source Interactive Television application framework (called Radon).

Once you get down the the VM level on these boxes, a GameBoy has more power.. The Radon system is "COM like", but its not "COM compatible". We were trying to draw the similarity. We have pushed OpenTV's dynamic linker to the e

Very cool, however, ...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
