I don't really watch TV anymore, most of my Netflix/Vudu viewing on my Computer these days. However, I still seem to be the general 'goto fix-it guy'. This information is good to know.
I don't have a TV and haven't for years, either. I posted this because I think most people do, in part, but mostly because I had never heard of ransom-ware for TVs. Things really are getting out of hand and weird.
