This idea doesn't bother me at all. I won't buy any TV for which I cannot disable the 5G antenna with basic tools by following a simple procedure described on some website.

If said TV won't work without 5G connectivity, it goes on my "Do Not Buy" list.

Good for you? What if you won't be able to find any tv that works without cryptographically signed periodic online check-ins.

Sure we could all try to ignore the horrors of modern society and move to a cabin in the woods (and then get to know our local mailmen when we find out that even that isn't enough) but perhaps it would be better and take a stand now while we can.
