A do not put any wifi credentials into the TV. Ever.

It will forever try to login into that wifi network, even if you disabled the wifi in the tv ui.

You're going to need to be more specific. Even if there was a TV that did this, you can't generalize and say that all TVs do it.

In my case, it was Samsung UE46F5570.

Sure, all TVs will probably not do that, but before this one it wouldn't occur to me, that it could do that.

Lesson learned.
