As far as my TV is concerned I don’t have an internet connection.
Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs

I do want a dumb 8K TV. I do not want all the so called smart features of a TV. Small Linux device with kodi works way better.

I do want a TV that can access Netflix etc without another box. I just don’t want the surveillance that comes with it.

I personally hate Kodi UI. But I get your point

I just run mine without ever connecting it to the internet.
I run an Apple TV (shock, walled garden!), as it is the only device I’ve seen that consistently matches frame rates properly on the output.

Some Xiaomi TVs have root exploits, so you can manually disinfect the OS, but it’s cumbersome to get done since you need to enter adb commands over the remote control to get there in the first place.
Easier to just use an external device and the TV as a screen only. Personally I’m using the Nvidia Shield for 5+ years now and regret nothing.

Not ideal, but you can air gap the TV from the network, and use some small sbc, or even a firestick or android box. That’s what I do. Stremio?
