I dumbedcmy smart tv by disconnected it from the internet. The stupid thing is the tv was requesting internet connection to work, so I had to put it on my network and then block everything so the tv pouted and then shut up.

Now I switch to a Fire tv usb stick on it but god I hate it..

Don’t forget that if you connect external devices to them, they’re also taking snapshots of the content “so they can serve targeted ads”.
