No, they rely on wifi, they piggyback on BT network.
The US youtube videos are a load of nonsense.

No they don't, they can't use WiFi, mobile phone network only. No signal no smart meter.

Yup, they use the DCC GSM (mobile) based network to communicate, they are are not connected to the internet or your home WiFi. They do use their own internal 2.4Ghz Zigbee network though to communicate with the displays/read outs etc. Maybe this is where the confusion comes from.

My view is avoid as long as possible. One reason is that domestic dumb meters read true power. Smart meters can, and most likely will, be set to read aparrent power. That means they can charge us more electricity if an appliance has a poor power factor.
They can also charge at different rates during the day, so likely will change big money in the evening when demand is more.
They can cut you off remotely if there is a dispute about charges etc.
Many other reasons to avoid.

Anyway getting back to the OP's question...the answer is no...the smart meter will not have any negative effect on your hifi gear...
Thanks for everyone's replies, but I think my post has been mis-interpreted, my wording was not so good. My intention was to ask if a smart meter had any negatives re hifi systems and sound quality. That was the reason I posted the thread in Blank Canvas. Apologies for misleading everyone.I can remember reading a negative many moons ago, but before agreeing to have a smart meter put in now thought I would ask here first.
