What if the communication is benign? What if the TV is simply refreshing a list of recommendations? Everybody - including this forum - is so primed to read nefarious motives into basically anything a computer can do now. Soon we're not going to be able to write a single "hello world" app w/o having to fill out a ream of EU paperwork and get licensed and bonded in advance.
