You can always hook up a computer and use the TV as a monitor.

How do you know they aren't tracking that either? Your TV has a computer inside that has the capability of watching whatever is being displayed on your screen.

TCL Roku models will do this. They have some kind of content matching running on the display signal.

Thankfully they let you disable it. But mine has the internet connection disabled entirely anyway.

If you have a computer hooked up, you don't need the TV to have internet.
