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?

They could have a partnership with xfinity to use all those “open” WiFi networks, for one. Or some other sneaky way of sending data.
