Hacking TV over Hotel mode (most C series models)
Universal USB disk to hack C series TV. It should work on any C series TV with export settings to ext3 USB support. Some models does not support ext3 file system for settings export (C6000/C630...firmwares with T-VAL6DEUC) Tested and works on models with T-MSX5DEUC, T-TDT5DEUC and T-VALDEUC (until 5.1.2011).
After this hack you can connect to TV over telnet, you get CIFS (samba) and NFS support. Moreover, if you attach USB with script file "SamyGO.sh", it will executed.

Save files you get anywhere in PC 5. Rename channel settings file (channel_list_LE32C550_1001.scm) to zip, like (channel_list_LE32C550_1001.scm.zip) 6. Open with archiver and add directory usb_mount with empty file in it (e.g. 1.txt; - very important) 7. Rename back to channel_list_LE32C550_1001.scm 8. Attach USB to TV and import channel settings to TV(not from Hotel mode!). Everything must go w/o errors. 9. Download file, extract from archive. You get 1Gb network_opt_28.12.2010_3_sda.img 10.
