Well, that's a step in the right direction. Adding a firewall that would allow me to lock down a TV would be a pain. I'd have to hang a firewall with wifi (if good ones exist) off of the back of the carrier router or I'd have to hang a firewall off of the carrier router and then a WAP off of the firewall. That sounds like a huge PITA. And you can't block (well you can, but...) sites like Subaru.com.

Ugh!

I told the missus, and her response was "do we really need a new TV?"

And I just recently threw away and old SOHO-sized Cisco firewall.
