Best privacy tv's? Or dumb none smart tvs?
Does anyone got any television recommendations for dumb tv's or other words none smart tv's? Or even a tv that is smart but the software is open sourced making it privacy friendly?
You're viewing a single thread.
TV's have become privacy nightmares in recent days.
One option would be any TV that works then simply keep it offline and stream from a device that allows you to have more control over your privacy.
If you're wanting to actually use a smart TV's functions, I think NextDNS can be set up to block most of the telemetry on whichever smart TV you have.
Yep, my TV is the chattiest device on my network according to PiHole. Blocked all the telemetry and it still works fine.
This is definitely the simplest approach, as you will be able to use any TV you come across.
As for a streaming device, some form of HTPC is likely to give you the best control over your digital privacy.
Not any TV. You can't just use PiHole and similar if the TV uses DNS over TLS or HTTPS
