Good luck with that. It will simply connect to a neighbouring open WiFi and transmit your data anyway :)

  Maybe remove the wifi card or antennas?

  Nah, thank God for the GDPR.

  What data? If the TV isn't online, then why would you enter any data on it? I guess you could always connect a Roku and then give your data to Roku, or a Chromecast since Google already has your data, or a FireTV stick, since Amazon already has your data. Well, at least Samsung/LG/Sony/Vizio/etc don't, reduce a little bit the attack surface.

    What data? - you ask. Let's see: - audio recordings (smart TVs have microphones) - photos of your living room (smart TVs have cameras) - still images of TV content - SSIDs of neighbouring WiFi routers for geolocation - data from scanning nearby smart devices Bluetooth - daily/weekly usage data - data from scanning USB devices plugged into the TV (e.g. list of filenames from your pendrive / USB HDD)

      Still, if TV isn't online, you don't give it access to your network, that doesn't go anywhere.
