        That works unless your neighbor had unsecured WiFi. The TVs will phone home in any way they can.

          Frankly if it ever comes to a time it’s impossible to prevent internet connection on any TV for whatever reason in my life, I’ll take off the back of the TV and desolder/destroy the transceiver.

            It will all be integrated into a single SOC. You can remove nothing or everything. In the future we will have tinfoil hats for or TVs.

          It’s probably only a matter of time before smart TVs are designed to use mobile data. I can easily see companies doing that to ensure you have no way to avoid the ads.
