Is it possible to open the TV up and just break the wifi module?
I'm just waiting for them to add a sideband channel to some LoRa network so they can exfiltrate data even when their devices are "offline"
Amazon Sidewalk?
It's a bit difficult, you'll need be good with your solder.
I dunno. I was able to open my wife's Sony Xperia to DIY battery swap, and then break (and fail to resolder) the antenna in the process. Can't be that hard on a smart TV.
Just give it the wrong wifi password.
I have been thinking more on this. Seems like a spare router with no Internet should suffice. Gives it a connection with no Internet so it can't go anywhere and since it has a connection it shouldn't be hunting for open networks
