You sit down to relax, put on your favorite show, and settle in for a night of binge-watching. But while you’re watching your TV… your TV is watching you.

Smart TVs take constant snapshots of everything you watch. Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.

Welcome to the future of “entertainment.”

      What about connecting to a mobile/theter and change password after you adjusted your settings? 🤷‍♂️
