This is why my TV does not have internet access.
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.

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.
Mr soldering iron fixes that easy enough good luck connecting to anything without a working antenna.

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.
I gave away my tv to a friend in need. That was the best thing I did for the both of us.
