    That’s what I meant by “never connect it to the internet and plug in a more trusted device”, whether that’s a Chromecast or your PC you can always plug in something else you trust more than the TV. Obviously finding something you can trust that does everything you want is another story.

      Yeah, I get it. Disconnecting the TV is a must, and luckily I never even connected mine for many years. The thing is that I’m not sure that we can trust in the licensed devices either. Chromecast, Fire TV, Nvidia, etc… All of them have trackers as well. A PC or a Pi would have the limitation of streaming at maximum 1080p resolution for some streamers providers such as Netflix. It is quite a challenge!
