Good luck with that. It will simply connect to a neighbouring open WiFi and transmit your data anyway :)

What data? If the TV isn't online, then why would you enter any data on it? I guess you could always connect a Roku and then give your data to Roku, or a Chromecast since Google already has your data, or a FireTV stick, since Amazon already has your data. Well, at least Samsung/LG/Sony/Vizio/etc don't, reduce a little bit the attack surface.

What data? - you ask. Let's see:

- audio recordings (smart TVs have microphones)

- photos of your living room (smart TVs have cameras)

- still images of TV content

- SSIDs of neighbouring WiFi routers for geolocation

- data from scanning nearby smart devices Bluetooth

- daily/weekly usage data

- data from scanning USB devices plugged into the TV (e.g. list of filenames from your pendrive / USB HDD)

Still, if TV isn't online, you don't give it access to your network, that doesn't go anywhere.

Maybe remove the wifi card or antennas?

Nah, thank God for the GDPR.
