Default Re: Free Wi-fi Spots in TV

No real issue with allowing your wireless to be used by me. Of course I'm not a real hacker. Allowing access to your network can allow real hackers to access the traffic that is being sent and received along with other nasty things. There are literally hundreds of web sites that discuss why wireless connections should be made as secure as you can and the possible consequences of not doing so. At a minimum it is a VERY simple procedure to turn on WPA or WEP encryption within your wireless router.

I can't imagine that anyone in TV would want to steal anything, or would they?
