    This. It’s a simple as a really good router or a pihole at home or similar. Just block their domains they ring home to.

        Serious question: How much of a brick risk is opening up one of these smart tvs and ripping out the wifi card? Can’t connect to the internet if you don’t have the hardware to do so.

        (Obviously pretty high if legit caveman-style ripping out. Could also be really hard, I have no idea).

          I haven’t checked, but most TVs probably don’t have a removable Wifi card and use the SoC’s built-in WiFi interface. It might be possible to remove the antennas, but they could also be traces on the PCB that you’d have to cut without damaging anything else.
