Ha, I have the same setup, samsung tv and a shield.

The tv's never been updated since I bought it, never configured wifi and there isn't any open wifi around for it to try to connect to.

Smart tv's aren't smart enough to come with their own internet connection... yet. God I hope they don't put something like cellular connections in these things, then I'd have to find the damn radio and desolder the antennae.
