Thanks Dave for the info, I will give it a whirl when other obligations permit.
I have stopped being proactive at the moment since waiting to see what my local MP does with the case info I presented to him before Parliament broke up for the summer. He seemed very keen to follow up the personal privacy angle, but there is quite a discussion going on in the EU and UK regarding the rights of individuals and the rights of government to collect data re terrorist activity. On the lines of, it is ok for governments to spy but will they allow foreign companies the same rights?? Regards Oldlad
Wow that opened a whole kettle of fish. Thanks for all the comments,sounds like LG has really stitched us up. Some of you have given me food for thought but not sure that I am competent enough to follow the suggestions through. Remember I have already ticked the don't mess with the works doc. Just disconnecting the cable to the router is not the answer since set also has WiFi and I did buy the thing to use on the net. I am not really worried about my personal privacy BUT am concerned about what's being picked up in company board rooms and government offices, research centres and the like. This must be in the same ball park as phone tapping. I was just checking on country of manufacture and realised that if we all stop buying LG products an awful lot of people in an awful lot of countries will be upset.It is almost like the script for a Dr Who film. Wonder if the ministry of defence use LG Monitors to plot their tactics using LG servers? I contacted the seller and they were gob smacked but LG customer support could not give a toss so far.

Re: Re: Re: Block outgoing traffic
Sounds a good idea, info should be made available for all buyers of equipment with potential for spying.especially those with Wifi.
