Starlink Direct to Cell
Yup, there are guides for how to open up your new TV and remove/disable the M2M modem inside. I don't think the cellular connection being in the sky will change too much about that.

How else would they bypass your home network and any firewalls in place?
Novel problems require novel solutions.

I knew they phoned home in general, but it has generally been done over wifi. I'm surprised to hear that they are now including cell modems.
xnx

Would love to know more about this. I thought I had successfully neutered the Roku spyware on my TV by not giving it my network password.
