    I ran Wireshark to capture traffic from my LG C5 and the only “scanning” it did was SSDP. Did they post any written article with further information on what it’s doing? Most if not all of what was detailed in the video can be opted out of; pocket-lint.com/i-stopped-my-lg-tv-from-spying-on…

    I really need to finish setting up an isolated network. The problem is I at least want to be able to cast to it.

    My dad’s HP laptop started tripping a Honeypot on my network, now I gotta worry about LG as well…

    Go to any mid sized or larger company and run a port scan and you’ll be immediately found and taken to the woodshed or fired. But I guess doing it unannounced in peoples home is just fine.

    They used to have good TVs :( It’s a good thing I stay away from Smart TVs in general.

    I wonder if I could desolder the WiFi chip

    On that note, does anybody know a good set top box with DolbyVision support that doesn’t require Amazon or Google services? Because the only one that comes to my mind would be an AppleTV and I don’t want to believe that’s the least terrible option…

  • I can’t speak for every TV, but I was able to remove the Wi-Fi card from my TV. It might be something you can do with your TV too. In my case I just had to unscrew the back panel, find the card, and disconnect it. Thankfully it was a separate circuit board rather than part of a larger board.
