What To Do With A Sony Nsz-gs8 Box?

I have the Sony NSZ-GS8 internet TV box, I have been looking for possible options of what to do with this product.I am hoping someone will be able to help with a way to hack into the box and put a OS that will allow me to use the box again. I figured since it is an Android box I could put a more recent version of Android in the box. Any Ideas?
