I think the Sony TV's offer an onscreen pop-up before accepting commands from unregistered DLNA controllers although maybe that can be faked (and maybe there is a flaw, I've never explored it deeply).

If you want to tell me model numbers I'll have a think about why that may be. Used to work in Prduct Planning for them although didn't have any role specifying this feature I was aware of it.
