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.
