Doesn't always help. There was a controversy a few years back that some TVs that are not connected to the Internet will use other TVs of the same manufacturer they find in WiFi range as a relay to offload their telemetry to the manufacturer anyway. I can't remember how or if that was ever resolved. Or if it's even illegal (anywhere).
