> If he can demonstrate someone remotely jailbreaking your TV, or flipping on those settings without you knowing or doing anything to your TV, that would be a far more damning issue, in my view.

Do you actually want a channel with 2.66 million subscribers to show how to get remote access to TVs used by millions of people? :-P



I'm pretty sure they DID mention that they can remotely flip settings. So that's a thing for sure.


That would be against Youtubes terms, the video would get pulled.


Yeah, why not ? LG should make their stuff secure (by not shipping bloat and spyware), so it is on them.


demonstrate != explain?


They do show using https://github.com/raws0kil/jsbro-autoroot to get root access. For anyone interested, that pointer is enough, I guess.
