Unknown, but I wouldn't put money on it being more than one.

They don't. They just expect you to buy it because it has WiFi !!!

1. TV + WiFi is still in its infancy.
2. People tend to keep a TV much longer than a tablet or laptop. WiFi standards change much faster. Cutting edge WiFi 5 years ago was 802.11g.
3. I'd be willing to bet most Smart TV functions are never used.
