> We got a big LG 'smart' TV a year or so ago, and we use it for exactly four things: youtube, netflix, xbox and (primarily) to watch content I put on USB sticks.

Are you okay with the content you watch, and the filenames on the USB sticks being sent back to LG? https://grahamcluley.com/lg-smart-tv-can-spy/

Not crazy about that. I do effectively randomize the file names played from the stick.

As stated elsewhere, I don't really want the 'smart' part, but the screen is large, good quality and was relatively inexpensive.

A hash fingerprint of each file could be sent, in addition to the filename.

Yup, could be.
