I don't think you will see the audio/video blackout problem with a
regular tv, but you may, I have that setup too but not using intel. What
I see in the log you should still see, I think anybody using intel will
see strange system log just by bringing down eth0 while having no wifi
connected, you may have to remark-out hot-plug in
/etc/network/interfaces or the device may reconnect whenever you
disconnect. What anybody should see when they bring down eth0 is a
attempt for the kernel to bring the internet connection back up and will
probably succeed, maybe your firewall will stop it from getting outside,
maybe not, leave the log open overnight while eth0 is disconnected and
you sleep for more reading pleasure.
