Comment on Can you un-smart a smart tv?

  I’ve heard, but cannot confirm currently, that some smart TVs are connecting to other smart TVs in nearby houses and apartments creating an ad hoc mesh network and sending user data.

  I honestly don’t know if it’s bullshit or not, but the guy you’re replying to has probably heard the same thing. I wouldn’t put it past TV makers.

    If it is real, for people who do have their television connected to their network, it probably creates interesting new attack vectors against their network.
