Or, just never hook them up to your network.
I plug a laptop into my TV for viewing shows and never have connected it to my network.
Smart appliances are crap that aren’t worth the hassle.Yep. I’ve got an Apple TV plugged into mine. The LG panel itself is great, no need to use their smart services.
Yup. Also have an LG big screen. So frustrating that it has such amazing features and remote, but you cant trust them enough to plug in an ethernet cable.
All that labor and effort to create a really great product, then completely destroying it with corporate greeds need to squeeze that last penny of value out of you by undermining your network security and privacy.
Just such a stupid situation.
Honestly I kind of hate the remote. 😅 I know a lot of people like it though!
I like the motion controls so I can point and type instead of arrowing to the correct letter and clicking it.
Same setup here! It’s the only apple device I own but I am pretty happy with it. TV is just set to turn on when the apple tv turns on, and go straight to that input.
We only watch stuff on the local Jellyfin
Apple TV is a pretty awesome device. Fun fact, you can install Moonlight on it to stream your PC to your TV, and it has controller support so you can use it to play your PC games on your TV. If you’ve got the Ethernet version it’s even better!
That’s why all my ‘smart’ appliances are in a separate VLAN with strict firewall rules limiting access to the bare minimum.
This is why I will never let my TVs connect to my network, there’s a reason they’re so cheap nowdays.
Shout-out to Spectre TVs
I too have a large LG, but it is never connected to my network. Instead is connected to my nvidia shield that is locked in a old version, 9 I think. Pihole blocks the shield.
PlasmaOS TV (?) will be the OS I’ll be installing as soon as is released
