Anyone who owns an LG smart TV must inform all guests and family members that they are being monitored – this is required by LG’s current terms of use. Meanwhile, LG monitors install potential malware and surveillance software on a connected Windows computer.
So are there downsides to rooting? Like do the apps no longer work or is there functionality limited?
I’m running pinhole on my network currently so I think most if not all of the bad LG behavior is restricted and I use a Shield for most things, but I’m still tempted to root it anyway. Just want to know the downsides, if any, before I update my family’s TV
