    From what I've found it sounds like ARM is not
considered secure enough for DRM. If I'd known
it would have this [apparently unfixable] problem
I wouldn't have bought it.

  It's a fun little gizmo, but my main reason for getting it
was to get a Windows computer out of the living room.
Now it seems I have a $100 Youtube viewer that can
run Linux command line incantations if I get bored. :)
