We put a Samsung smart TV in $wife& #39;s studio for her upcoming cooking class show; denied all permissions for its "smart" features (the terms and conditions are worse than those of Disney& #39;s Walk Around The World brick sponsorship) but it still did .75MB of traffic in <12 hours
Also, every 20 minutes or so it prompts us with a banner to activate the smart feature so they can harvest all our viewing data and sell it to all taker. Like Akhmatova said of Petrograd, @Samsung wants our TV to be "...a drunken harlot who didn’t know who was taking her…"
The "Unknown" traffic on our TU7000 is of keen interest.
