You don’t need to connect your tv to the internet. You just need to connect a streaming device to the internet and plug the video output into the TV. The TV does not need to talk to anyone. The TV has one job: to display video content. If a firmware update is necessary for any reason (and it generally isn’t), you can do that with a USB drive.
