I didn't realize my LG TV was spying on me until I turned off this setting (www.pocket-lint.com)

The article you reference discusses advertisements which use said frequencies. My TV has literally never been connected to the internet, so therefore it’s impossible that a “frequency embedded ad” has ever played on it ever, period.

It’s a non-issue if you never give a smart TV internet

I hope what you wrote is a joke.

Why is that your hope?

Its about tv ads... Nothing about Internet. Maybe you just watch (local)streams and dont remember tv ads..

Watch local streams? I literally do not see advertisements. Ever, period.

My TV literally doesn’t know what a “commercial” nor “advertisement” is. But now I understand the confusion - thanks.
