I hear that some smart TVs will seek out open Wifi networks and connect to them to get updates. So now your neighbours can (probably unknowingly) connect your smart TV to the internet for you.

That must be the device equivalent of finding a house with an unlocked door and going inside to rummage around their fridge and eat their food.

Am I now legally liable for my TV stealing the neighbour's internet?

Find a cooperative neighbour and sue the manufacturer?
