TV hack

A while ago I bought an LG 26LD350 LCD TV what sold me on the TV was all the inputs on the back HDMI, RCA, USB etc.
Was I disappointed when I found the USB is only for service use by techs. The port is disabled so the consumer doesn't have access. Well I decided wasn't going to be beat and did a little research and found that it was possible to hack the TV using a mobile phone with IR and some software off the net and about 15 minutes work (10 of those installing and working out how to use the software and 2 minutes to convince my wife it needed to be done) We now have a fully functioning TV and can plug in USB drives and look at the files on the drive.
