The smell of newly purchased stuff... So, there I was, Hauppauge WinTV board in hand, Mandrake 10 installed and ready to rock! Little did I expect that it would come to this. But first things first.

yep it is possible if there is exploit,
To make it a little clearer, there are KNOWN exploits in currently shipping copies of WindowsXP. We already know that. The holes are there just waiting to be exploited and as soon as you hop on the web you're liable to get infected by a worm. Even if there were known remote exploits shipping on a Linux distro, you would be able to do something about it in advance of connecting it to the internet, namely shutting down the services.
