Anyone have a good guide on how to jailbreak my "smart" TV to install Linux in order to run adblock on my TV

[–] [email protected] 120 points 6 days ago (18 children)

Step 1. Never connect it to the Internet. Step 2. Connect Linux machine. Step 3. Profit.

Some cheaper brands, which are subsidized via ads, actively search for unsecured networks. Disabling the Wi-Fi as completely as possible might be worth the time, if you have such a model.

I don't even think it's limited to the cheaper brands. I thought I heard about Samsung (or some other similarly large vendor) TVs connecting to networks their servers knew about for updates and stuff all of course without your interaction/consent. I might have just read that as a possible future thing though it was a while back that I saw it.
