Religiously updating my TV? It has been patched since spring, someone clicking by accident "yes" for the update notice that appears randomly on the middle of the screen in the past 9 months would ruin it. I was religously *not* updating my TV and it still got too new software for the exploit :')

My LG TV is a little over a year old now and I refuse to allow it to connect to the Internet, ever, so I guess RootMyTV would work fine for me?
