Just one more reason my TV will never go on the Internet.

Know why I searched and eventually managed to find an purchase a non smart tv. It connects to SAT Only

Smart TV is the dumbest purchase any household can make.

Friends feed SAT TV in to a huge computer monitor.

The receiver has no back channel.

@Kerplunk I've got a smart TV, because it's bloody hard to find one that isn't these days. But it's not connected to the internet, never will be, it displays a HDMI input and that's it.

Good, what often foils that is automatic connection to any open wlan the tv can find.

Open wireless access points are not uncommon, in Germany at least.

@Kerplunk I’ve not heard of TVs automatically joining open wifi before, that sounds like a horrible idea from a security point of view - anyone could set up an open hotspot and MITM traffic from the TV 😱

Mine (a Toshiba) thankfully doesn’t do that, though all the apartments in my building in rural Japan have passwords.
