For the geeks with computer science degree or just brave enough, we have stumbled upon interesting project. The recent set of Samsung TV Firmwares is based on Linux core (GPL), which enabled new perspective on hacking Samsung TV firmware. With some reverse engineering skills, after changing an official version of the firmware in a hex editor, SamyGo programmers , enabled  telnet daemon at boot time so you can use alternative firmware on your brand new TV. It is nice to be able to ping your TV and take full control of it.

Further information can be found on SamyGo page or project wiki
