Thanks for the suggestion ! We'll have to look into the EPG, for now we get the TV listings data in another way ;) Right now we only have 2 STBs, and their input is captured by 2 video cards (

). We picked this one because it has a very nice C++ SDK. Ideally though, we'd have as many STBs as we can to get more screenshots !

Basically we have a server connected to STBs running C++ scripts that rotate over every channel (the STBs are operated with an IR blaster) to capture snapshots which are then uploaded to S3 (with a little node.js component) that are fed to the client app via XMPP.

So what happens if I lose / don't remember my Master password ? If it's used to encrypt my data I suppose you can't reset it ?

yeah, I guess eventually it'll be the same pure black as in g+ everywhere. Also they should have it as a built-in in Chrome !
