Vizio is among the TV brands that were already caught spying on people through their "Smart" TVs (1). I do my best to stay away from that junk as my Kodi box is more than enough, but if I had one, I'd either never connect it to the Internet, or do that through a huge list of banned IPs, as mere DNS filtering pi-hole style could not be enough. Also beware of Ethernet equipped HDMI cables and unprotected WiFi. 1- https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2017/02/08/shocking-smart-tv-manufacturer-vizio-spies-on-customers-using-advanced-big-data-analytics/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2017/02/08/shocking...
