Mine still takes several seconds to boot android TV just so it can display the HDMI input, even if not connected to internet. It has to be always plugged on the power because if there is a power cut, it needs to boot android TV again.
My old dumb TV did that in a second without booting an entire OS. Next time I need a big screen, it will be a computer monitor.
The simple trick to turn a “smart” TV into a regular one is too cut off its internet access.
Except it will still run like shit and may send telemetry via other means to your neighbors same brand TV
I’ve never heard of that. Do you have a source on that? And how would it run like shit if you’re using something like a Chromecast?
I don’t know about the telemetry, but my smart tv runs like shit after being on for a few hours. Only a full power cycle makes it work properly again.

Still uses the shitty ‘smart’ operating system to handle inputs and settings.
I got a roku tv and i don’t even know what that means cuz my tele will never see the outside world
