Fucked up and connected my latest TV to wireless, mindlessly input the password. Had to wipe it to factory to undo that.
Mine's plugged into the network, but haven't seen anything obnoxious. Worst was them changing the screensaver to have some fairly subtle ads. If they ever fuck around I'll cut it off at the firewall.
And yes, as you said, I power it off Jellyfin running on my PC. Or, again using it as a 2nd monitor, I sling the VLC window to it. We don't pay for any media at all unless you count Amazon from my Prime subscription. Or unless you count my $6 VPN. :) (I know that's hateful around here, but I can't afford to drop it.)
