Re: Hmmm

I'm rather more concerned that they are able to brick them remotely

For me this justifies two things:

* do not connect TVs to the internet (use a box of your own choosing with HDMI or component output)

* do not purchase TVs from companies that CAN actually do this

Last thing _I_ want is for my legit purchased hardware to "accidentally" be BRICKED like this. So you companies who TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS LIKE POTENTIAL THIEVES, TAKE NOTICE.

At least ONE potential customer WILL NOT BUY YOUR SCHTUFF UNTIL YOU STOP IT!!!
