LG to Ban Residential Proxies from Smart TV Apps – Krebs on Security

LG TVs sound like a nightmare. They spy on what you’re watching, listen to what you’re saying and doing, open a doorway into your home network for malware, and put you on the hook for whatever some pedo decides to download through your IP address via one of these proxy-infested apps. Plus their monitors have been silently installing highly privileged adware that is also probably spyware on people’s PCs, and popping up big unwanted ads for McAfee etc. that users can’t turn off.

I have one. It’s not connected to the Internet, and it doesn’t complain about it. Works great for me.
