    Just don’t let it connect to the internet then? I don’t trust any tv to connect directly to the internet at all. Ever.

    Does anyone have a set of domains/ips to piehole to prevent such information going out?

      Having watched the GamersNexus video, some tracking is done with DNS resolution requests to unique domains.

    I have an LG TV screen. How do I know if I am infected? It is a few years old...
