Your LG smart TV may be doing far more than displaying your favorite shows while it sits "off" in the corner of your living room.

      My experience with roku is that if you block all the telemetry stuff by blocking roku with a wildcard, it works for about a month at a time and then breaks certain apps like clockwork and makes you re-download them to restore function, meaning you have to unblock the roku domain and allow it to collect all the stored data.

      Idk if its still like that, I did a factory reset and left them offline years back, but just an fyi that this advice may only be partially workable for some platforms.
