Can you provide some more details please? Connected how? How did you find out exactly?

Also TV model, firmware version... and all of the other information that would be relevant here.

While it is theoretically possible that someone else rooted your TV, the exploit hosted in this repo requires deliberate user interaction - a permission dialog must be accepted using the TV remote.

Based on the information provided (or lack thereof), I think it's unlikely your TV has been rooted (using RootMyTV or otherwise), and I'd recommend contacting LG's customer support.

If your TV really has been rooted adversarially, then as a security researcher I'd be very interested to hear more.
