Many comments suggest never connecting smart TVs to the Internet, and others rightly point out that the TV could seek out open APs. What about deploying some hardware to basically launch a deauth attack on the TV whenever it tries to connect to anything? Wi-PWN[0] looks like a fairly good starting place for this since it can be flashed on an ESP8266. It’d probably need some tweaks for this use-case though.

- gruez 6y agoNowadays anything mid or high range you pretty much have to get a smart TV, or a commercial "dumb" unit that's overpriced. During my last TV search a few years ago I wasn't able to find a good mid range TV that wasn't smart.
