A wifi antenna should be easy to find.

If you cut it, could it lead to an error, or just weaken the signal?

If you wrap the TV in tinfoil, it'll be a faraday cage and block all WiFi

I just keep my TV embedded in a block of lead.

But then even Superman can't watch ads on it!

I mean I wouldn't, but it's an idea!

Seriously considering decorating my next apartment like this. CNC engraved thin sheets of stainless steel, with a ground wire plugged in somewhere. Possibly the plumbing.
