This is easy, don't connect your TV to the Internet and use it as a monitor for a mini PC running Plasma Bigscreen.

Don't buy such a TV, or mod it by removing the cellular modem. Same problem with cars, but generally quite easily solved.

Yeah, in the future all TVs will be like high end cars today.

If enough people do this, and refuse to buy TVs that do not work without an Internet connection, manufacturers will get the message and not make such TVs.
