Trying something new per a suggestion from zeugma--I'm breaking up my ping list into two parts to shorten it--hopefully it will eliminate the double pings we've been seeing.

Just because I am paranoid does not mean they aren’t actually out there watching me.
I turned mine off 12 years ago and never turned it back on. Don't miss it a bit.
Yeah, but I’d assume anyone who has a TV connected to the Intertubes, it’s going to be behind some sort of router, because that will be the source of internet service and probably Wifi for the rest of the home, and the router provides some level of firewall.
You're actually probably an exception to this. The camera lens on the front of your TV seems to be gummed up with some sort of foreign substance, so they can't watch you anyway.
Where on a Samsung is the camera lense located?
CA....
“I’d be interested in knowing what OS is running on these things. I’d bet it was an embedded linux with really bad defaults set up. (Or running as root)”
Most ppl set up a tv in their bedroom. Sooo... hackers could throw in some virtualization software in the mix to set up a back ComChannel. Then they could sit at their computers and chat back and forth while watching the poor victims. Shoot, they could probably sell access and make money from it as a business. lol!
You are overestimating the effectiveness of a router. FWIW.
