My net line at work is down right now and difficult to browse from my phone.

What on earth can they change in the firmware of a TV?

Some of the things:
* How to enable Telnet on samsung TV's
* How to enable Telnet/NFS/CIFS/SAMBA
* Enable Serial Console on non CI+ Devices
* Manually flashing images via telnet or console (without the need for XOR and CRC32)
* Open backdoor for fixing bootloop situations
* Mounting an NFS share on a USB device to bypass DLNA
* Mounting an CIFS/SAMBA share on a USB device to bypass DLNA

Also enables playback of movies via USB on the following models:
LExxB55x
LExxB62x
PSxxB55x
PSxxB56x
UExxB6xxx

How do you load it though - I know our firmware updates on models are locked, where overseas you can DIY.

There is a link to their Wiki page which have details about that.
It looks like some hacking (hex editor required), in order to do it.
