I'm pretty sure at least a few of them do that already. I've seen too many reports of tech savvy people not knowing why they got updates when the TV has never been connected.

Very possible. Or maybe "just" connecting to any open wifi networks that might be available...

OTOH, I take "non-tech-savvy" reports with a healthy grain of salt. "Never been connected" could simply mean "I didn't plug it in to the Comcast box". Or "I connected Netflix, I didn't connect the TV".

These were tech savvy people who I generally trust, plus a few Internet reports of dubious trustworthiness (like everything else on the internet).

I wish I could remember the brand.
