> Many smart TVs will connect automatically to any open wifi signal.

Which? So we can avoid. I don’t buy TVs often; the 2019 LG OLED I have required me to set up WiFi. Which of course I didn’t do, but it wasn’t forced.

> Many modern televisions will stop working altogether of they go too long without phoning home.

Same question as above. Would be good to get a list going. Maybe a shared doc of TVs to avoid.
