Any TV that doesn't have your WiFi password is a dumb TV. No TV I've owned to dated has required network connectivity to work.

Nah, it can still connect through the smart TV of the neighbours.

They probably have cross-brand agreements in place to let any "offline" device access advertisement networks. Your data is a very profitable business for them.
