Remember, your SMART TV is watching YOU as you're watching IT. :)
That is exactly right - and if you are on a bandwidth limited connection could be a source of a lot of traffic.
Basically you have been 'monetized'. Sure when you watch Netflix through the built-in TV app, it tracks you. Pop a disk in the player and punch HDMI1 on the TV, and it is still watching you. It will capture screen shots of what you are watching and upload them to the Internet. That is how they can tell you are watching the ball game on DirectTV, or Indiana Jones on BluRay. This tracking can & will eat up a big chunk of your upload bandwidth. Disconnect the TV from the Wifi when you do not need it connected for streaming.
Of course, this is all for the greater good. Connecting you with products & services that you may wish to purchase. Essentially monetizing your viewing habits and selling them to the highest bidder.
