I never connect my appliances (e.g. TV) to wifi. But how do I know it's not attempting to find open wifi and the connecting to those? What happens when appliances can connect to cell data whether we want them to or not?

I'd consider such a TV broken and hand it back in where I bought it, to either be repaired or I want my money back.
