First rule of smart TVs: if you really have to buy a smart TV, then never connect it to the internet!

I've read at some other post that some smart TVs won't work at all if you don't connect it to the internet.

Read with caution, I haven't verified this.

I've also heard people say that they'll automatically connect to any open wifi networks. People make up a lot of stuff. Just don't tell your display device how to send any 1s or 0s to any server outside your home, and you'll be fine

Imagine if they came with default ads prebundled in the firmware.
