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?


Aren't we expecting a new Wikileak anyday soon with the code of how it
was done?
