Query
How will it brick the box what can it do?
If 1 samsung box can take the firmware why cant all of them? Say for example my V+ drive had its hit the other day so the update is on the head end and I forced the update on my Samsung box what symptoms of fault could the forced update bring?
How does the system deside which boxes get the hit and when?
surely if the firmware is on the system and hit the tv drive it should be stable enough for the Samsung boxes?
I realise I do not know squat about the hardware in these boxes buts its just hardware with software needed to run it
So please more information on the possible problems caused by forcing an update of software thats in the area or it wouldnt be available to force.
Why is the forced update capability built into the boxes software if its not safe to run it?
