I see a lot of concern in this thread that future TVs would just peer-to-peer or cellular connect to do their dastardly functions. Wouldn't this be preventable by putting a fine wire mesh around the box on the rear of the panel? Sure, the signal could still go out through the panel, but that's bound to incur a lot of interference from the panel itself, right?

The simplest solution is just don’t buy these TVs

At this point, I'm wondering if I should set up a shell company of some kind, just to buy commercial digital signage TVs. They require registering with a company just to be allowed to buy them.

That’s increasingly difficult to do.
