That's really a lot of FUDD. "The FBI" release was from the OPI (in other words, a press release written by press release writers, not FBI technical people). The TV is behind a router, so it can't be connected to from outside your network. (If you see someone parked outside your house, fiddling with some equipment for more than a minute or two, call the police.)

if I could get into their network, I'd get into their PC or laptop and steal their login to their bank account. Your TV is less accessible than your baby monitor [any police scanner can listen to your baby monitor].)
