What's almost as bad is that most smart TVs have ads and "suggested content." WTF? I think there are a couple of TVs that you have the ability to turn that stuff off, but not most of them, and I think that includes some of the bigger brands.
Since we have a HTPC on our TV we never connected the TV to the network. No issues with any of that!
