Samsung TVs come with a ‘secret’ feature, here’s what it does

Samsung has disclosed that all its TVs come preloaded with a feature that lets the company remotely disable them if they’re stolen. In a bid to tackle the issue of stolen TVs from its warehouses in South Africa, Samsung has announced that it is activating this feature — called Television Block Function — on all its TV sets. According to the South Korean tech giant, “blocking system is intended to be implemented in respect of televisions that have been obtained by users through unlawful means and in some cases, stolen from the Samsung warehouses.”
