The solution here is pretty simple: just don't connect your "smart" TV to the Internet.

Not only does this avoid malware/randomeare/becoming part of a botnet but it also avoids the stupid pop ups about "The terms and conditions [sobething you don't use, care about and probably didn't know existed] have changed. <OK|Cancel>".

If you're using DVRs, STBs, etc you're getting the same effect.

Connecting to the Internet gains you nothing.
