Just don't put it on the Internet? What's wrong with that? For "Smart" TVs that have obnoxious screens just to switch inputs - ignore them. I still have a great stereo receiver and it does all my switching. Yes, I prefer non-smart TVs but you can also treat most of them as dumb TVs and they still work fine. If I ever did end up with one that refused to work if it wasn't online I'd take the sucker back. I have ZERO intention to ever use the software bundled with a TV for all of the reasons others talk about in this thread. It's just not that big a deal to use something else as the source for my content.
