The BoxeeBox is quite a capable media player. At its core it is a modified version of XBMC with a number social media sharing features added on. However those modifications also limit what you can do with the Box, and removes some of the standard XBMC features.
Recently a hack was discovered that allows for full root access to the box:

This project is an attempt at returning some of the missing features and opening up a development path for creating new features and fixing existing annoyances.
What does it do?
- Root access telnet support (password is "secret")
- FTP server
- Music icon added to the main screen and menu
- Fan Art on movie details page
- Fan Art on tv show overview page
- 3D Movie overlay icon
- Music / Concert overlay icon
- Extra view mode for movies (small posters)
- Mark all TV Show episodes watched or unwatched with one button
- Custom browser home page
- More music visualisers (+ customisable)
- Updated busybox, and added git, nano and sqlite3 tools
- Improved buffering for Full HD videos
- Tweaked MTU if you're using a VPN/PPP connection
- Rewritten subtitle system (BierDopje, OpenSubtitles, Subtitulos, SubsWiki, Addic7ed)
