Honestly, I'm surprised this isn't common behaviour with all Smart TVs these days. It is trivial to probe a LAN network.
Only if you give it access
That doesn't stop it from holding the scans in memory until a stray open network gives it bandwidth.
Or from the devices making their own ad-hoc network until the world wide web is reached. Not that that's happening in this, specific case, but the former example stands.
