- squarefoot 4y agoBeware of any nearby open WiFi network, as the TV will try to use it, and don't forget HDMI cables with Ethernet compatibility; if the TV doesn't connect to the Internet, the external box almost certainly will, and the TV would immediately use it to get online as well.
- gloryjulio 4y agoI unplug the power when things are not used. So they will not be connected. That's why I use different physical boxes.
- zamadatix 4y agoWhat good does unplugging it when it’s not in use provide? Surely it wants to share information about how you use it not how you weren’t using it. I guess if it has a built in vouce assistant or something but that’s not something hard to avoid.
- mrpippy 4y agoWas “HDMI with Ethernet” actually implemented by any devices? I can’t find any reference of devices supporting it. (The idea was that fancy HDMI cables could also carry Ethernet, so an AV receiver or TV could also be an Ethernet switch for connected devices.)
