Chances are they’ll have some antenna line going to the edge of the TV. The box on the back of the TV already has a bunch of shielding over it inside. If you were to go to the trouble of opening the TV to find it, you may as well disconnect the antenna and ground it so there’s no chance of a signal.

I see a lot of concern in this thread that future TVs would just peer-to-peer or cellular connect to do their dastardly functions. Wouldn’t this be preventable by putting a fine wire mesh around the box on the rear of the panel? Sure, the signal could still go out through the panel, but that’s bound to incur a lot of interference from the panel itself, right?

I have a Kurig coffee maker (too little respect to spellcheck their name). It puts oit a BLE beacon that I can receve a mile away. G-force was right!

it’s looking for other keurigs to mate with, like a barnacle

Hopefully the TVs don’t won’t require that connection to operate.

The simplest solution is just don’t buy these TVs

At this point, I’m wondering if I should set up a shell company of some kind, just to buy commercial digital signage TVs.

That’s increasingly difficult to do.
