Smart tv just been hacked??? Porn on tv!!!!

[littleredrobbin]

No idea where to post this but just wondering if the same thing or similar has happened to anyone?

We Purchased new smart TVs for the house about a week ago..

Me and my partner were in bed and all of a sudden a notification saying 'Brett is trying to connect to your tv, accept or allow' my partner accidentally clicked allow!

It then said 'Brett disconnected'...

10 mins go by and all of a sudden a full blown porno suddenly pops on to our tv along with Brett's name at the top saying 'connected' I was half way through episode 2 of the new series of the crown so bit shocked!
My partner is concerned about someone hacking the wifi!

We all live in new build semis and I don't know our neighbours name yet, could it be him?? Could it be someone hiding outside? Do you have to be close to access a smart tv?

I'm really worried now that this happens in the day when my daughter is watching one of the TVs!!!

I need to see if the man next door is called Brett!

Any similar experiences at all?

Seems like they’re connecting via Bluetooth, and did it accidentally. New builds are small and sometimes it’s possible. Just unpair the device or switch off the bluetooth functionality.

Its not hacked as such. Your neighbour is trying to stream via their phone onto their tv and yours may be a similar brand. Hes probablu just as, erm, frustrated by the situation as you

I connect my phone to my tv to use overseas tv apps that work via android app on the phone but not tv due to location

Next door is probably trying to work out why it's not streaming to his TV 😂 😂

I put vampire diaries on some randoms tv when trying to connect my phone to my dads tv. I hit the wrong tv on the caravan site.
Maybe it was a similar thing

Hmmmm. No one else suspects DP then?

You would see the dp doing it because even though you know its not like a remote control, once you connect your phone to your tv you cant stop the habit of pointing yout phone at your tv as if its a remote LOL

@KeepServingTheDrinks no my partner was watching the crown with me...

Oh Brett. I'm not angry, just disappointed.

Brett is your next door neighbour. He just had an epic fail!

I'm going to try strike up a convocation with them next door tomorrow! Obviously just to find out their names

Just ask your neighbour if he is called brett. He will know it was your tv he connected to and die with shame

When you meet him you have to say "ah so you're Brett, you connected to our TV last night. Hope you enjoyed your programme!" and watch him squirm

Nope send him an ultra religous christmas card and end it with "we hope to see you at church in 2018, you may find peace in alternative fulfillment. Regards and god bless, Janet and Roy (with your tv brand in brackets)

OP: a convocation sounds a bit over the top. How about a shunning?

Yeah thinking about It must have been next door!

I was thinking it could be a malicious person outside but why the hell would anyone stand outside to put porn on someone else's tv when it's practically snowing!

Need to figure out how to stop it happening again.

Christmas card is a good idea

No need to ask the neighbours name, when you see him just say "Hi Brett" with a knowing smile.

The connection will be Bluetooth, Google your TVs manual and it should tell you how to disconnect devices.

Isn't there a good chance that Brett is a pseudonym if he's watching porno?

You should be able to change the name of your discoverable device to "I know what you're up to, Brett".

Oh yeah do that!! ^

Quit wanking with my data, Brett

Isn't there a good chance that Brett is a pseudonym if he's watching porno?

It wont be because he didnt know until tonight it would happen! However, tomorrow night I confidently predict that it will come up as Kirk St Moritz :o

Ooh anything good?

Connect to his TV and stream one of the religious channels.

@LoveDeathPrizes I don't know? I didn't think of that! I can't imagine someone changing there device name just to watch porn?
If he wanted to keep it a secret from his wife I don't think he would put it on a big tv would he?

Maybe the wife was watching too, who knows!

I don't want to watch it with them though! I think I've managed to reset connected devices. Hopefully it's worked.

My partner wanted to live stream our faces to their tv!
