Don’t trust the TV, put short or suricata on that in passive bridge mode. Heck, even TCP-dump should see some activity when you turn on the TV.
Comment on Can a Smart TV piggy back the internet of a HDMI device?

I might be a bit paranoid but I suspect that in such a scenario, the TV will report that there is no connection but will keep on sending data to remote servers. Fortunately in my area there are no open WiFi networks but that is a good suggestion.

You can sniff the network and see if the TV is connecting anywhere.
