I was watching Netflix on my smart TV when suddenly the screen went black and then turned back on. After that, it seemed to glitch and switched to what looked like a PC screen, showing open files and everything. Then it glitched again before returning to normal. I'm concerned because all the PCs in my flat are turned off, and I'm wondering if my TV has been hacked.

Honestly, that's just how 'smart' devices work sometimes. They’re designed for convenience, but glitches happen a lot. Just keep your software updated and monitor any unusual behavior.
Make sure that your smart TV is only connected to your home network. Since you're the only ones there, it shouldn't have outside access. If you’re still nervous, try resetting your TV's network settings to be safe.
It's possible someone tried to share their screen with your TV by mistake, especially if it's using the same Wi-Fi. They might have connected briefly and then realized it was the wrong TV. Don't worry too much; it’s probably just a glitch!
But no one else has access to our Wi-Fi. It’s just me and my mum at home right now.
Yeah, it’s just us here. I’ll look into resetting it to ensure everything's fine.
