Scan for TVs actually finds them

Discovery only ever saw devices that reply directly to our query, so TVs that answer over multicast were invisible — a Google TV and an 85" LG were both missed on a real network while a scan returned only an unrelated panel. It now listens properly, and finds LG sets over mDNS as well as SSDP.

Pairing identifies the device first

Aiming pairing at the wrong kind of device used to fail with a raw TLS error that said nothing about the actual problem. Couchside now works out what is at an address and either pairs with the right protocol automatically, or explains what the device is. You can still force a pairing — a TV that is off cannot be identified at all.

LG commercial / signage displays

Panels from LG's commercial line do not speak consumer webOS. They are now supported directly over their own control port: power, input and mute, with no pairing.

Pick which TV the remote drives

A box with more than one paired TV drove whichever brand ranked highest, so pairing a second TV appeared to succeed and then did nothing. Setup now lets you choose.
