WOL is tricky across the internet but it is possible, getting past

via uPnP that is designed to blow holes in firewalls. Anything here
with the uPnP feature gets it disabled.


I believe the way it was done was to fake standby by altering the LEDs
to show standby even if the device is on the network, so no WOL needed.
Of course, you'd see it on the lan.


So first, you'd need to download and install special software to the TV to
get the LEDs to show what you want?
