Yeah saw that mentioned in another thread, that’s much more straightforward and reliable.
I've read about TVs that already did that. The owner purposefully didn't configure WiFi or Ethernet, and months later the TV suddenly prompted to install an update because it found a neighbour's open WiFi.
Or have a GPS and realize that it’s been 12 months since their last mandatory update and lock you out.
Why would you need a GPS for that?

Thankfully the majority of people use their TV indoors.
All you need is to glimpse 1 satellite for a short while if you're looking for a roughly accurate time.
You need 3 to get a position fix, but fewer will still give you the time.
I agree, Could use WWVW or whatever it’s called.
