I don't see any profit motive for TV manufacturers to want to expose their customers to spying/malvertising, though.

Even if they do their own ad injection, they have no motive to help competitors' ads...?

The TV vendor has no motive to allow them to reach listening mobile devices. They could filter 'em out.

their motive would be easy though, kickback from a Nielsen style rating agency.

An agency like that would give kickback for reporting to them, not exposing the data to third party scraping.

They'd still do better to decode it, scrub, & reencode it in a way only their collecting partner can read.
