Detach/Desolder the WiFi card from the back of the TV. Connect a device to it and install Kodi.
Desolder? Just remove the network setting ๐คทโโ๏ธ
No that's not enough. You should burry your TV in at least 1000lbs of concrete
On my TCL TV, it's impossible to disconnect the wifi after you connect it. The button just doesn't exist. I had to make a new network, connect to that, and shut down the new network.
What is "setting"?
Your wifi ssid and password.
It can connect to any open WiFi in that case. I don't take such risks.
Just make it a little faraday cage in the shape of a tin foil hat
I do not understand the downvotes. I mentioned desolder in case some TVs have wiring that cannot be detached easily. People seem to have taken me to be a paranoid agent of sorts (my working assumption) just because of one word. Is this really the privacy community, or a place to discourage people from taking privacy into their own by (sometimes) doing the slightly difficult-to-do work?
