Or preferably, don't allow your TV to access the Internet at all.
All my content comes from the internet. I guess I would have to have a middle man device for content like roku. Probably not much better.
Check out kodi. I run that on a raspberry pi.
Any laptop from the last decade? HDMI cord, congratulations! You now have a smart TV that does not require an internet connection
You don’t need to connect your tv to the internet. You just need to connect a streaming device to the internet and plug the video output into the TV. The TV does not need to talk to anyone. The TV has one job: to display video content. If a firmware update is necessary for any reason (and it generally isn’t), you can do that with a USB drive.
This is what I think every time I read to not hook your TV to the internet. Everyone's next statement is to use a roku type device. I'm like, it's the same thing?
I have my TV connected to the internet, but I only have 2 of the 8 or so terms and conditions selected. The bare minimum to just make the TV function. I get prompts every day to select the advertising, voice activation, etc. terms, but it still works when I hit cancel.
