I get what you're saying. What I'm running into is that there is little information on what happens if you 'dont connect it to the internet at all'. I would happily do that, but as another comment notes, some devices keep whining until you do connect them, while others don't. I can also easily set up a separate 'fake' network to black-hole all the communication attempts of the TV, but I have no idea whether that would stop the nagging -- or the attempts for it to connect to public WiFi access points.
It would be really cool if people experimenting with this kind of thing could pool their findings, that's all.
