TV is a client. If I remember correctly, it shouldn't transmit anything (unless connected) other than probe requests during active scanning.

Which could still be illegal, but I don't think anyone will realistically investigate a low-power device sending a few packets occasionally.

That depends what else is on the channel that is the reason for it not being available for wifi. In some places, it's a military radar and they will definitely investigate.
