If just using a Smart TV for a computer monitor, what is the easiest way to keep it from sending your information? Just keeping it away from WiFi? Would it be able to connect via your HDMI?

Never connect to wifi. Don't agree to the ToS. It can't connect to your network via hdmi.

We have a PiHole running and the TV makes constant attempts to connect to home-base.
