So don't give it your Xfinity creds? My understanding is that Xfinity doesn't let just anyone connect to that network.

  You lack imagination, which is a liability in this field. Not your creds. Nothing stops the manufacturer from making a deal to get an account from XFinity and shipping the creds on the TV. Then they can exfiltrate data from anyone who has an Xfinity repeater anywhere in broadcast range.

    Good time to extract the creds from the TV and get free internet.

    Imagination is well and good but don't jump to assuming that just because you can imagine something it is already happening now. So far I have seen zero evidence that it is.

      I didn’t say it’s happening. It’s a next step that has already been tried by others, though.
