      That doesn’t, unless you’ve blocked your TV from network access, because they use ACR - Automated Content Recognition - that literally scans what is being displayed over your hdmi port and then sells it off to advertisers.

          They can connect to open WiFi spots and just ignore the fact that you didn’t connect it.
