    Jokes on you! It doesn’t have internet access. All it has is an HDMI and power and that’s it.

    I still need to agree to the term of use

      It looks like the TVs are scanning for accessible WANs on their own, and they still store some data (I’m not sure what happens when they reach full capacity.)

        Same thing that happens to your computer or phone when it reaches 100% storage capacity. It slows to a crawl and crashes often, prompting the consideration of a new TV purchase.

      I just got a new smart TV that we’ll never connect to wifi, however I worry now that the Google tv device I have connected to it may pass some data to it. I wouldn’t put it past these slimy fucks. Even if it’s illegal (not sure if it is but it should be) they still might do it.

      I can totally imagine them establishing some two way connection so that the Google tv is providing data to the original manufacturer of the TV as a mutually beneficial spy program.
