        That works unless your neighbor had unsecured WiFi. The TVs will phone home in any way they can.

          Setup your own WiFi with the same SSID and block all ports. Bonus points, it will drive your neighbors crazy and maybe get them to up their security stance.

          It’s probably only a matter of time before smart TVs are designed to use mobile data. I can easily see companies doing that to ensure you have no way to avoid the ads.

          Frankly if it ever comes to a time it’s impossible to prevent internet connection on any TV for whatever reason in my life, I’ll take off the back of the TV and desolder/destroy the transceiver.

            It will all be integrated into a single SOC. You can remove nothing or everything. In the future we will have tinfoil hats for or TVs.
