Samsung South Africa has announced the implementation of a television block function on all its TV sets obtained
The company said the block function was activated as part of its commitment to reopening businesses and minimising the loss of jobs after the unrest, in line with the plea to #RebuildSouthAfrica. “The aim is to mitigate against the creation of secondary markets linked to the sale of illegal goods, both in SA and beyond its borders.”The blocking will come into effect when the user of a stolen television connects to the internet, in order to operate the television.
Should a customer’s TV be incorrectly blocked, the functionality can be reinstated once proof of purchase and a valid TV licence is provided.Mike van Lier, director of consumer electronics at Samsung SA, said: “We will continuously develop and expand strategic products in our consumer electronics division with defence-grade security, purpose-built, with innovative and intuitive business tools designed for a new world.
If people can use stolen iPhones, what is a TV? Guys please. Most of the tvs won't be connected to wifi. They are working perfectly.

They think people who looted TVs will be connecting their TV to the internet?
Even if they block its internet connectivity, it wil run pefectly with an Android TV box. Or so called Google Ceritified Remote.
So these TVs require Pre registration before use ... ?
