Its an old LG, but given the recent light on the lengths they’ll go to spy on us, I figured this guy was better off without any ability to even connect wirelessly. Don’t know if the Ethernet still works but I plan on keeping my TVs as dumb as possible, HDMI only.

If you’re wondering how to open lg TVs you just have to remove all the screws then start pulling open at the bottom and open the clips going up. With the TV face down on a soft surface just keep pulling on the back case from the bottom, it’ll take some effort to pop open. The top edge folds open more like a hidge than clips.

    Those run off USB power so if the TV isn’t on and powering the device, it can’t do anything.

    Comcast gave me a remote when I started. I opened it up, shoved a pin in the mic hole and scrambled it until it couldn’t recognize anything. Then I filled it with super glue.
