At this point, it's probably better to buy a DVB adapter into your PC and a big screen.

eventually the TV will just quietly crack the wifi password and join the network itself

I firewalled mine. Now it takes a minute longer to start, randomly crashes, etc. But it still does local DLNA!

My Vizio doesn't bug me to login to wifi, but it's not a "smart" model. Also, I assume my Chromecast does all that anyway.
