netflix.com is in the top5 domains on the entire network, and i have a Raspberry Pi running 24/7 (with AdGuard Home), most queries are from TV.
do. not. connect. your. TV. to. the. internet.
i would recommend using an SBC as a video input device (single board computer) and using whatever service through that. (ideally under linux)
Disconnect that piece of shit from the internet and use a streaming box/stick or an HTPC.
Detach/Desolder the WiFi card from the back of the TV. Connect a device to it and install Kodi.
Desolder? Just remove the network setting 🤷♀️
On my TCL TV, it’s impossible to disconnect the wifi after you connect it. The button just doesn’t exist. I had to make a new network, connect to that, and shut down the new network.
What is “setting”?
Just make it a little faraday cage in the shape of a tin foil hat
I do not understand the downvotes. I mentioned desolder in case some TVs have wiring that cannot be detached easily. People seem to have taken me to be a paranoid agent of sorts (my working assumption) just because of one word. Is this really the privacy community, or a place to discourage people from taking privacy into their own by (sometimes) doing the slightly difficult-to-do work?
Is it a samsung? And is there an netflix app on the tv? Just having the app on the tv even without login inor account will, at least on one of my tvs, make those requests.
Delete the app from the tv should stop those requests.
Edit: sorry i see its lg. same thing tho :)
Ah yes Netflix. I was going through the apps on my phone to delete things that I don’t need, there’s a bunch of shit on there I never installed and can’t be uninstalled. like Netflix.
