Well fuck. I think I have a Vizio but I think I have all of the smart shit disabled and don't have it connected to the net. I have a HTPC for my media/streaming that runs Linux and is allowed to talk to my network. Going to need to double check that I have removed its internet capabilities.

>All those Vizio TVs swarming the aisles inside of Walmarts across the globe will now be owned by Walmart itself. Walmart bought the TV maker Tuesday wholesale for a whopping $2.3 billion. At first, you may assume Walmart wants to use the brand as its main TV for in-store and online shoppers, but according to the retail giant, it’s all to put its own ads on Vizio-brand smart TVs.
