    I think you’re good as long as you:

    • never connect to internet
    • disable Bluetooth if you’re not actively using it. This is good practice to avoid drive by Bluetooth attacks that your out of date tv is vulnerable to.
    • decline TOS if you can
    • disable all smart or AI settings, they’re just ads
    • verify in privacy settings this is the case
    • use an external set top box for playing content
    • never allow firmware updates

    I’ve never seen any evidence they connect to open networks or include 5G routers yet. Not that this is impossible, I just haven’t seen any actual evidence of these claims, and there are definitely grey hats running honey pot networks who would see this if it were the case.

    Android TVs that are able to be setup offline can be debloated with adb commands, no root necessary (though rooting can’t hurt, assuming the bootloader can be unlocked).
