Buy one used and run it in the closet with your Amazon Alexa, playing nothing but the shower scene from the original Psycho film over and over again.

I don't use the TV for interwebz. The apps on so-called "smart TVs" suck anyway. All it gets is an HDMI connection to a receiver.

I'm no IT guy, but couldn't you just block the port on the router? Tell me if I'm wrong as this ain't my gig. Wouldn't that prevent the TV maker from accessing the device? Or at least change the port number from the default if it's a common port and then password on the TV (if there is one).

That's why I would use something like Ethereal to snoop on the network traffic. I wouldn't think the Streaming libraries are the same URL as the Cloud Mother ship collecting the information. I would look for traffic during the watching of content. Try to figure out which is the video chunks and which one belongs to the logging of information, the block that URL.

Yup, NSA and FBI 24/24 listening to belching, balls being scratched, popcorn munching, and raucous football cheering. Sweet revenge.

Sounds like they are quietly taking screenshots and uploading them.
This really needs to stop. The default for every device should be to not accumulate a dossier on your habits.
What we really need is a dossier of the names of Congressmen who are betraying your privacy.
