New TVs will connect to other smart TVs that have been connected to the Internet.

You straight up have to pull their chips now if you really want to be sure.

This is the first I've heard of such a thing. Like TVs connecting to one another through Wifi Direct or BTLE and tethering their internet connection? Can you link to anything discussing this?

Hmm, I recall reading a couple articles about it a year or so ago but nothing is coming up in searches.

I'm not sure if that means it was vaporware, misinformation, or coming soon to a Google TV near you. Anyone that's more familiar with network capabilities is free to correct me, but as far as I'm aware if your TV even has Bluetooth it's already capable of doing this at some level.

Either way you'll catch a smart appliance in my house when I'm dead.

? If you're going to block 1 Smart TV from the Internet. Why wouldn't you do it to all the TVs on your LAN?

In theory, as every smart TV might act as an access point, it'd be sufficient to be in the range of your neighbors smart TV.

Oh shit I didn't think of that.

Because the range could include things like the apartment, condo, or even house next door.
