Thanks for the reply that the first of several downvoters was too lazy to do.

Edit: it never stopped OP from using their TV and IT ISN'T THEIR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR SOFTWARE. Maybe if they hadn't been stupid enough to post it on the fucking internet, they'd not have gotten found out and banned.

    The point was to post it to internet and expose what Samsung TVs do.

    If that was the point, they'd have done it anonymously.

    I mean, "@GamersNexus would this be something you'd like to cover" is a pretty clear giveaway that they wanted the story to blow up.

    Yes, they should've done it anonymously, but I still think that was the point (I don't see any other reason to post this otherwise)
