Kickstarter- Console OS

Not sure if anyone has seen the Console OS kickstarter project, but basically it a project that would allow you to have Android on a Windows PC or tablet, and would have an Instaswitch capability to switch between OS. I backed it about a month ago when it was at 25k and has recently passed it's initial goal of 50k to get funded (still 23 days to go). For a 10 dollar backing you get the Pro version of it and lifetime upgrades for life if it pans out. I thought for that it's worth a shot. You also get 10 votes for which type of hardware you would like to have supported. Since it has to be customized depending on what hardware you run, it won't support everything out of the box and right now it's very vague on what type of customized desktop hardware it will initially work on, but does have a list of items it will work on out of the box (most Intel NUCs are supported already). So still a lot of questions to be answered.

Now, for the interesting part. If you look at the comments section, just a few comments down there was a question regarding DVR capabilities and CableCard certification. This is something they actually want to do and support. They don't have any official announcements regarding this as of yet, but it looks like it may be coming soon. You can check it out at the link below. This could be huge if they get it to work well.
