Gets an update a couple of years in to fix some bugs.

Gets second update on year 5 to add ads in all menus.

Gets a third update on year 6 to add a nag banner saying it isn't going to work anymore soon with a discount code for a new Samsung TV.

Gets a fourth update on year 7 on the backend to disable Samsung account access from the TV but on the front end of the TV making Samsung account access mandatory to use the TV.
