You can (hopefully) root your TV: https://e.nya.je/getroot/ and then follow a guide like this to disable all the snooping: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/lg-tv-block-mini-how-to/2551...

Disclaimer: I haven't tried any of this myself, I've just been looking into it as I am/was considering buying an LG TV.
