OK, let's get the obvious question out of the way: Why would I want to run Tor on my TV? Honestly, I don't get why. I don't see anywhere on the site that explains why it would be a good thing for me to run my TV on the Tor network.

As a result of inexperienced police departments, running a TOR exit node can have some serious consequences. So the idea of ubiquitous TOR is great, but in practice I'm be leary of endorsing having TOR enabled [everything]. For now, it should remain the domain of experienced users who are running TOR with their eyes open.
You can say it's a chicken or egg kind of situation, but I don't want my family to be one of the eggs that gets broken because of the content coming out of their TOR exit node.
