They used to have good TVs :( It’s a good thing I stay away from Smart TVs in general.

I found it to be a struggle to find a non-smart TV that was decent…

Aren’t all TVs non-smart if you do not connect it to the internet?

No they will still collect data that they can

But if they don’t ever get access to the internet, they can collect all the data they want? Unless they connect to nearby unsecured wifi and use that to connect to their server.
