The Terrarium TV app has more content with a cool and easy to navigate layout. The process in the video is more like side loading instead of jailbreaking.
Hacking or Jailbreaking your smart TV could be tricky at times but it allows you to watch more TV channels without any additional costs. As smart TV can be easily connected to the internet, these hacks could possibly put your data at risk to more vulnerabilities with an unreliable security system.

Having put off buying a new TV — I would then have to seriously consider a Samsung. To clarify my above statement: This is bad for OSS. A major vendor moves to OSS and their product is revered. Any chances of profit margins through extended product lines is shot down. Trust me when I say there engineers and marketing pukes see it the same way I do.
Other major vendors are going to take this into consideration. This will effect vendors decisions to go with open source implementations. How many proprietary firmware units do you see this being done to anywhere? Which is needless to say given the noob-troll way you used my name and failed at patronising me far below mine. Superior intellect FAIL! It sounds to me like others are more likely to BUY the product because it may open other possibilities.
This is exactly why OSS can and does work. I think gomer pyle may have just starred in his own XKCD strip, or at least something to that effect.
Are there some hackers working on this firmware too? I have several decades of software hacking currently I do this for living and assembly coding including ARMs background. Maybe I could join a project, but so far the firmware is too crippled for me heavily encoded chaos without headers and footers.
Has bricking the thing been proven to some extent? None have the ability to even playback a xvid p video file.
But I see your point — remote bricking and unbricking. Let me just say — they were lucky as all get out — I was amazed after reading the details. Of course, if you like games that flips the argument the other way. No, certainly not. MPEG 2 transport stream? Why would you want to send a xvid file to the TV? Now they do everything, and the battery life sucks ass.
Yeah, I really want my TV generating more heat than my actual computer. To each their own, I guess…. Oh, and linux is used for various tasks, such as the menu UI, controlling the chips and telling them all to do this or that through I2C. Having linux on the TV to playback media is not the point. Based on your comment, it sounds like you think this is the baked in version of Media Center XBox comes with. XBMC, Boxee, and others are versions of software that can be installed on old XBoxes to convert them into full blown media center consoles.
Also, XBMC is no logner xbox media center, but simply called XBMC, due to it now working on a large range of platforms, including: windows, mac, linux, linux live cd, apple tv and Boxee. That makes the videos show up as the directory structure on the drive, which is how I prefer it.
Plus you can configure it to play the videos in an internal player or any number of external players such as vlc and mplayer. Either way the reason why I said a mythtv frontend would be neat is because you can have a computer acting as a backend with your tuners and hard drives somewhere else and with a network connection you can use all that from any frontend machine on the network. Look at the back of your set. The blue LED back there should be off.
It remains illuminated in Fake Off mode, according to the documents WikiLeaks released. To determine your firmware version and to update it , go to the main menu, select Support, then select Software Update. But the company acknowledged in that hackers could compromise the voice-control feature in some sets, and it took steps at the time to patch the problem.
The companies making internet-connected smart televisions have drawn criticism for collecting and sharing user data. If you want effective protection from unscrupulous companies, shifty hackers, and government spies, simply disconnect your TV from the internet. But if you remain worried, there's only one sure-fire method for preventing that: unplug the TV.
