A useful tool in the case of theft like with IMEI blocking on Mobiles but Samsung are not making this facility available to consumers ie to block a TV stolen from an owner. It is currently only at their whim that it is used and the time frame for reversal of a mistake (and probably no compensation) is quoted as 48 hours. If they get the serial number wrong it could currently mean a TV here has stopped working and the poor user none the wiser why it ceased functioning.
More concerning as well is what other Brands may have implemented such a system into their TVs and other smart devices and have not disclosed it. Fridge working one day and the next not? Smart lighting systems?
