Viruses in Smart TVs?? - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

SAMIAM76 · 2012-05-09, 08:31 PM

Hey Everyone - I'm new to the game of home theatre - thought it was time to put aside my Sony Trinitron 32 INCH bubble TV and invest in real HD.

After lot's of research I settled on the Panasonic VT30. I Love it - literally difficult not to watch and get anyting else done.

Question 1
Anyways I have it hooked into the internet "wireless" and I'm wondering about all the viruses out there and can they come in and do any damage to the TV.

I have downloaded software into my Blu ray and PS3 etc and with VIERACAST content, access to Utube, ant the whole internet via PS3 - am I at risk to downloading a virus that can impact the TVs performance when surfing the web.

Question 2
Does anyone know who can calibrate these beasts, in Ottawa..and is it worth it?
