Or, just never hook them up to your network.
I plug a laptop into my TV for viewing shows and never have connected it to my network.
Smart appliances are crap that aren’t worth the hassle.

    Yep. I’ve got an Apple TV plugged into mine. The LG panel itself is great, no need to use their smart services.

    Yup. Also have an LG big screen. So frustrating that it has such amazing features and remote, but you cant trust them enough to plug in an ethernet cable.

    All that labor and effort to create a really great product, then completely destroying it with corporate greed to squeeze that last penny of value out of you by undermining your network security and privacy.

    Just such a stupid situation.

    Same setup here! It's the only apple device I own but I am pretty happy with it. TV is just set to turn on when the apple tv turns on, and go straight to that input.

    We only watch stuff on the local Jellyfin

    Apple TV is a pretty awesome device. Fun fact, you can install Moonlight on it to stream your PC to your TV, and it has controller support so you can use it to play your PC games on your TV. If you’ve got the Ethernet version it’s even better!
