It’s still a privacy violation a lot of people would be outraged by if they knew it. Tracking what shows you are watching is a valuable data set.

I'm surprised to see how few of my non-technical friends and family actually care about privacy.

It’s right there in your TV’s settings though. Personally, I don’t trust them to obey the setting so my TV has no internet and I use an Apple TV.

  • In your settings under how many nested menus under which deceptively named option?

    And how many options do you need to toggle to actually opt out?

    • For my LG TV, it is as deep as you can possibly go! And I think it took two options to fully opt out (including turning off the microphone).
