This is why my TV does not have internet access.
I really don't get why you would allow your tv Internet access anyways. A huge number of them carry tons of spyware that not only is on the TV but creates backdoors into your network.
Source on backdoors?

I have a TCL even, but it's not allowed on my wifi network at all. Have its Mac addy blocked, all my smart TVs are blocked. Wish they sold more non smart TV's these days.
It seems like these are standard vulnerabilities that were patched. Happens all the time, especially with open source packages like Android
Some TVs automatically latch on to any open network they can find, to do their connected thing, even if you don't specifically give them access to your wifi.
Your wifi shouldn't be open anyways, hell I live in the middle of nowhere and my Wi-Fi network is locked.
I think you missed the point. It isn't about your network or what good security practices are, it's about what the TV does or is trying to do if you don't connect it to your wifi. Open networks are out there whether we like it or not and some TVs will try to use them to call home.
Mr soldering iron fixes that easy enough good luck connecting to anything without a working antenna.
I gave away my tv to a friend in need. That was the best thing I did for the both of us.
I like the way 2000s tvs did it, an ethernet cable for any possible firmware updates needed, and an sd card/usb port for media viewing.
