I basically just assume that anything which is closed-source, networked and has sensors of any kind is a spying device. It’s easier than evaluating each one individually.
Eh. Its an upfront decision that’s pretty easy to figure out if a TV or something has it. A TV being an extreme case where you know for near certain it has it even. Its about as hard as looking for anything else you care about in a product in most anything else this might be a concern with - I can quickly see if a TV is a smart TV or not.
Disclaimer: I am aware that the TV market specifically is kiiinda weird with their dedicated TV remote button deals that let them sell TV units at a loss (to then be remade by these deals). I still feel this is not much harder a way to live life… I mean, what, I’m gonna spend an extra 20 minutes looking for a TV?

I see. I guess I don’t use some of the technology that others do, so I probably don’t have this problem to the same extent others would.

You can set up Google TV, WebOS and Tizen TVs without WiFi and just use the HDMI ports.
