If you're concerned about that do not give internet to your tv and use any kind of tv box instead (shield tv, apple tv, etc).

I wouldn't use Apple TV, Shield or other proprietary black boxes if you want a private setup. Linux on a mini-PC with Plasma Bigscreen, your own over-the-air antenna for local TV, VacuumTube for YT, and the high seas for other content.

So that TV box can phone home instead of your smart TV? What's the point?
