The only connection the TV has is hdmi. I do not think that back and forth communication is possible there.

xavier666@lemm.ee 1 month agoSorry for being paranoid but can the TV piggyback the connection used by the the streaming device/android box to send data back to the TV OEM?

I think for the TVs internal wifi, it’s better to create a honeypot Wi-Fi exclusively for it, or a VLAN. It will constantly try to send data and fail. If we don’t let it connect to anything, the TV might start sniffing for other open networks.

Not yet but it is clear in the future most devices will be able to do that, we will have ubiquitous low grade internet access everywhere. Your neighbours devices will let your electronics snitch on you even if you seal up your own internet

Good point. We can have a honeypot wifi. Check my other comment in the thread.
