I’m surprised they haven’t just started building 5g chips right into the tvs. That’s the end goal here. Just make it so the devices don’t even need your cooperation to phone home.

Please don’t give them any ideas. I know that some ISPs already provide routers with hidden SSIDs which are kind of used like a mesh. TVs, in collaboration with those ISPs, them can communicate.

Jio Fiber in India
You can check this forum post for details. Other IoT appliances were connecting to the hidden SSID.
