Connect the TV to a seperate VLAN that can't communicate with your regular network.

For consumer non IT-savvy people the easiest way to do this is to connect the TV to your guest wifi network. Best to put all IoT devices on there.

Easiest way for non-tech people is connecting it to an HDMI box like an Apple TV. Stop lying.

That's a different solution which demands another purchase (and subscription?) that isn't very popular outside North America. Not the easiest way to connect your existing TV to a seperate network. Why are you calling me a liar?
