He's right, but I don't like the framing of TV companies are going to spy on you anyway so we're the best option since you get a free TV. I would like the option to not be spied on. In fact I'm choosing that by not having a TV to begin with.

    You can still do that and get a TV (for now), you just have to not connect it to the internet. Mine has never seen Ethernet cable nor my wifi password and gives me zero problems. I don't even use the TV interface since I have an HDMI switcher that auto switches to the most recently powered device.
