LG smart TVs scan user’s local network for phones and watches, log location and nearby Wi-Fi names. Then send it to LG Ad Solutions. Pull the cable and it keeps recording, stores the audio, uploads when reconnecred. Automatic Content Recognition samples whatever comes through HDMI, so the console counts too. https://www.theverge.com/tech/991190/lg-tv-spying-standby-recording-wi-fi-scanning-gamers-nexus
