Not connecting it to the internet and using HDMI like we've been doing for the last 20 years...

Sounds like a great item to return to the store for a full refund. Manufactures just love returned products, completely destroys the profit on the next several sales.

My fear is that this will change. We already saw LG load malware via windows when connected. So in theory future devices like Roku and Apple TV could act as a proxy for the tv.

I also fear we will have to install faraday mesh in our walls when these things start arriving with their own internet connection to collect your data and show you ads.

I can only imagine how this would totally screw with cell signal and probably generic interference with wanted wireless tech.
