Devious hacker? Maybe. 'Normal' hacker? Most probably no. OMAP2420 is stacked with flash (and sdram?) on top and soldered to board so you probably can't get access to right pins.

And BTW, the Epson video chip has TV out too. This one might be slightly easier to use (in software) since we have documentation.
