But there is a simple alternative here: don't connect your TV to the Internet, use it as a dumb monitor for a FOSS streaming box (Linux PC or Lineage Android TV among others).

    That doesn't necessarily work anymore, some TVs now have Amazon WhisperNet built in, and will just update ads via your neighbor's Alexa.

    That's not an alternative: at the end you don't get a TV, you get a streaming box.

    Perhaps you don't care about OTA TVs in the first place, but that's a different point.

    How's that relevant to me not controlling the device?
