The funny bit is that when I got a big-screen TV 10 years ago, I ripped it apart and desoldered the microphone from the control board. I also removed the microphone from the remote control when I got a chromecast. It just seemed easier than reversing the code and recompiling w/ a root cert I control (so I could MiTM the stream coming from the TV.)
I think I'm lucky... my TV doesn't seem to try to connect to open wi-fi networks. You have to explicitly give it an SSID and tell it to connect. I have chosen not to do that.
I think my SCAAAS service would advertise "Sure we spy on you, but we're too incompetent to do anything with the data."
