Nothing new there, there's plenty of ways to access streaming
platforms for free... if that's the way you wanted to go
about it. Good internet is generally required though.

One of the attractions was that you just plugged it into the
T.V.'s HDMI socket and away you go, apparently just pulling
the signal out of the Air.

 Yeah, it's called magic.
 The rest of us might use the term internet stream though! ;-)
 

I currently connect via Wi-Fi from my Computer to the Modem at the Phoneline Wall socket then via the Telco lines to my ISP.
In a previous incarnation, I had a Dongle hanging directly out of a USB socket on the Computer. That Dongle (2.5GB/5GB signal) connected directly into a Telco System which then carried my signal to my ISP.
So, sort of similar, I was thinking this T.V. Dongle would have been doing something similiar .... pulling the signal straight out of the Air and not using my Internet signal.
