I can't speak for every TV, but I was able to remove the Wi-Fi card from my TV. It might be something you can do with your TV too. In my case I just had to unscrew the back panel, find the card, and disconnect it. Thankfully it was a separate circuit board rather than part of a larger board.

Good hackathons don't mean more work. They should carve out time for people to participate. However if the systems those employees are maintaining need constant work then you can't carve out time for a hackathon because the systems will go down otherwise.
