“I did see a video clip of a man approaching a blue tooth enabled TV that connected to him if he walked up to it.”
That is laughable on the face of it.

Not laughable; it looks like the man had wireless headphones or hearing aids that were “paired” to the tv.
From the link:
Bluetooth Pairing
Pairing is the process of creating bonds between two connected devices.
Bonded devices automatically establish a connection whenever they’re close enough.
Mobile phone users who use Bluetooth headphones or transfer files over Bluetooth would have come across pairing. You need to pair devices only once, after which they automatically get connected the next time they are near each other.
When devices pair up, they share their addresses, names, and profiles, and store them in memory. They also share a common secret key, which allows them to bond whenever they are in range in the future.
Pairing usually happens with an authentication process where the user validates the process.
The user validation could be as simple as just clicking a button, or could be as complex as manually entering a 16-character alphanumeric string, but is generally a 4-digit or 6-digit PIN that is to be entered.”
