MODERATORS
A TV that is not connected to the internet is effectively just a large monitor.
I understand that some TVs lock functionality and coerce you into connecting it to the network, but most of them function well as monitors. I know it's tempting to make use of the "smart" features since it's included, but if you care about privacy, it's better to keep it off the internet.
