alt Hacker News> 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

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

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

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