Developer Howard Harte has offered a $1000 reward to the first person who can show him how to root a Google TV device, allowing him to install third-party apps.
The only other catch is that the hack must be available before Google officially adds third-party support.
With the ability to root, Harte will port his Better Terminal Emulator Pro Android app to the Google TV.

Last month PSJailbreak showed the world that the PS3’s security model was open to be exploited, and Sony was quick to shut down the project.
This week, PSGroove, the “open source PSJailbreak,” has been released for the masses, giving owners a chance to jailbreak their PS3 for a lot cheaper than the $170 PSJailbreak.
The code can be run on a hacked PSP, a TI-84 calculator, a $25 Teensy++ USB development board or a $30 AT90USBkey.
Currently, the Teensy is on backorder and buyers will likely receive it a week or so after they order it.
While the software initially had any piracy features disabled, a second build has been released with all features of PSJailbreak enabled. The software will allow for the execution of unsigned 3rd-party apps and games as well as ISOs of PS3 games.
