Nitpick for anyone involved in this project:

> Plasma Bigscreen turns your TV or setup-box into a fully hackable device

I know what you meant, but given the concerns people have with privacy of their TVs, smart devices, and in general the security of their internet connected home, describing something that turns your TV into being "fully hackable" feels like it's ripe for misunderstanding.

"Customisable" would be a preferable term IMO.

"Owner-customisable" or "user-customisable" perhaps to clarify that you're in control.

"Putting you in control of your TV" might be a good slogan or motto.

Hah. Same line, different nit.

> TV or setup-box

We're talking about a set-top box, right?
