Smart TVs are all well and good, but when ad-focused update lobotomized my new-ish Android TV, we hit a problem.

    And you can get around all of that by not giving the TV a direct internet connection…

    Without that, it can gather everything it wants, it just can’t send it anywhere.

    Because you’d be using the source, there’s no benefit to connecting the TV to internet.

      True. And that’s worth doing.

      The IT guy in me wonders if they are devious enough to start using Ethernet over HDMI for other internet connected devices. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
