Easy way to never get this. Don’t connect the tv to internet. Literally get an Apple TV or fire stick or something else as a media player.
if you get one of those you end up in the same place with more steps… you need to hook up a pc (any format), preferably running Linux, so you have full control
Yeah it used to be a pc on Windows was enough, but now even that's corrupted to hell
For the love of Mithras do not get a fucking firestick. The amount of data collection and phone home requests those things do is actually insane. Not to mention they're locked down hard now, you can't even change launchers. You'll be back at square one with a TV spewing ads at you without consent, and you can't do shit.
