For the longest time (like, the past 15 years) I’ve wanted a cheap small box that can overlay custom info, eg text, on the TV. The reason such a thing does not exist, other than projects like Bunnie’s NeTV (https://makezine.com/article/technology/review-hardware-hack...) is that decoding HDMI signals is illegal if you’re not in the club. I think the ELI5 reason is that content providers are afraid of unauthorized copying of DVDs (try taking a screenshot of a frame from your DVD player on your laptop).
I’d be willing to pay up to $199 for such a box if it has an open API to input overlay text and icons.
