Since you’ve posted this, I did a factory reset wiping my network info and disabling every non-tv feature. And here I thought LG was better than Samsung at this.

minus-squaremuusemuuse@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoYes but it is access you can physically disable. WiFi you would have to change passwords to really keep the TV out since it can turn itself back on.
