What do I do? I don't live in the US, by the way.

To dumb your TV, just don't connect it to the internet. Get a SFF pc or something and use that to watch your series/movies. My TV functions as a monitor.

If just using a Smart TV for a computer monitor, what is the easiest way to keep it from sending your information? Just keeping it away from WiFi? Would it be able to connect via your HDMI?
