I'll just connect it to my LAN only wifi network. No way in no way out.
I think what they were talking about is the TV actively scanning for similar models and connecting to those to reach the internet. I’ve read similar articles showing how smart TVs will even connect to an open WiFi network to try to get online.
All this would bypass your LAN restrictions of course.
