Some tvs will attempt to connect with another and use its internet link if available. Samsung tries this.

This is exactly the point I’m making. Once a few companies effectively own the market, what’s stopping them from programming their devices to communicate with each other without user knowledge? I remember seeing some post about a reddit guy asking why his Samsung (or other smart brand) dishwasher was using several GB of bandwidth daily.

If that’s the case, then you should return the TV if you can or replace the WiFi antenna with a 50 ohm resistor.
