For smart tv, they recommend just never give access to internet. And look if it has some kind of monitor mode so it always launch display on the hdmi port.
They still keep searching for some open wifi to send their stuff through.
I wonder if a software that just generate gibberish data could be made, just to fuck with them.
Meh, it's not like the data is monitored by people, it would probably just be like dropping a needle of bad data in a haystack of automated data.
This has never been proven in any way. It would be really easy to show that a smart TV will automatically connect to an open WiFi connection and send data, but nobody has done it.
