    Hi,
    LG already admitted that some models are sending data although the user disabled it.

    ciao

    And what exactly are you implying by that ?.
    My posts contain my own personal thoughts and opinions, they do not represent those of any organisation or group but my own.

    If you don't like what I post, Don't read it.

    SIMPLES.

    Be Honest
    Would it surprise you if Microshite were spying through eggbox/konnect.
    You would have to be naive not to.

    First of all: why would we?
    Secondly: please check yourself. All our software is Open Source, so it is virtually impossible to 'hide' anything.

    Help asked via PM will be ignored.
    The forum is there for help and all will benefit from your questions.
    NO CARD SHARING TALK WILL BE TOLERATED, LAN OR WAN, IN OPEN FORUM OR PM !

    English is not my native tongue.
    I apologise for all my grammar, spelling and idiom errors.
