Just don't connect your tv to any network, wired or wireless, ever. It's much simpler.

It works until every device has a 5G chip on them.

Or your neighbor's tv has internet access, and relays telemetry for yours.

If it comes to that point I will open my devices and cut the antennas

Or extract the eSIM / figure out a way to use it for free internet like some did with Amazon Kindle SIMs.

Warranty doesn't mean much to me. I'm an outlier who enjoys repairing their own devices. I recently repaired a week old laptop that arrived faulty (trackpad was messed up) instead of mailing it back.
I'd only cut the antennas in a last case scenario. It's more likely they'd have a connector or I'd try to de-solder them first.
