It’s not particularly hard to open and disconnect the Wi-Fi antenna. But it probably voids the warranty.
I’m not excited for the day they realize that HDMI allows the transmission of network traffic through the device it’s plugged into.
Why that’s in the design, I don’t know. But I also don’t understand why HDMI has fucking DRM built into it.

This. It’s a simple as a really good router or a pihole at home or similar. Just block their domains they ring home to.

Serious question: How much of a brick risk is opening one if these smart tvs up and ripping out the wifi card? Can’t connect to the internet if you don’t have the hardware to do so.
(Obviously pretty high if legit caveman-style ripping out. Could also be really hard, I have no idea).

Works fine, I have two smart TVs I did that to.

This would work, but why not just not connect it to Internet?
