I would skip the VLAN step and just block communication from the TV to the internet. That way you could still access media on other devices on your lan via DLNA or something



What happens when you want to use Netflix, Amazon prime, or an external Plex server with the smart TV? You NEED internet access for those


Separate HTPC box that you trust?

FYI you can't use an internal Plex server either. The Plex client is unable to operate without an Internet connection.


Chromecast or Roku
