You just broke 99% of the smart television sets in people’s homes, unfortunately.
That will resolve itself over time, of course, as sets are replaced, but anyone with a set that is more than ~3 years old is mostly unlikely to have IPv6 support in it and the vendors are ALL universally terrible about updating firmware. As much as I like the idea (and that if a sufficient number of providers were willing to do so, it might just serve as a forcing function to get firmware updates done), I wouldn’t hold my breath and I suspect where there are competitive alternatives, such a notice would be a boon to the competition.
