Or I could just accept my place and watch the ads and go along with all the caveats like a good consumer. I don't see that happening.

I have a mix of smart and dumb TV's.

All of them show me the same number of ads: zero.

All of them have the same level of access to networks (LAN/WAN): none.

Worst offender is a legacy Roku that keeps up it's direct connect WiFi broadcast, but it's on its own isolated VLAN.

Just buy a smart tv and don't connect it to internet. You'll get to buy from the same selection and enjoy the subsidized price.

My Vizio smart TV's smart features won't work if you don't accept the terms of use. HDMI inputs worked though, and probably TV tuner... didnt try it. I eventually accepted of course, but that might be an option for you.
