I recently bought a projector that I had to trick into not connecting to Wifi by telling it that it was connected to ethernet until it gave up. It will never know the wifi password. It gets an HDMI signal, it shows the HDMI signal, that is its purpose.
These smart tvs just suck. All these integrated systems. Much better off having a seperate device like Roku or Chromecast.
You seem to be under the impression that Roku and Chromecast don't do the exact same things.
There is no good solution because connecting a Pi or something is not as good as modern TVs without an AV1 decoder and it also doesn't have a good remote interface as far as I know.
I just don't connect my Hisense to the Internet, and let my Nvidia Shield TV do all the "Smart" stuff. 🤷♂️
I have my Google TV in apps only mode. If Google can still see that I pirate literally everything I watch, and circumvent YouTube ads with it then, well, maybe it sends a message.
I am still using a dumb LG TV from the before times, and love it. I fear the day that I need to replace it.
Anyone know about lineageos tv? It looks cool, but there might be some issues I dont know about not using it yet.
