Roku TV Disable WiFi (PERMANENTLY)

Marty, thanks for verifying this doesn't work. It looks like my only option then is to take off the back of the TV and unplug the wifi module or get a new TV - for me its especially important because I am using the TV as a computer monitor and sit before it all day.   I have to say I am a little intimidated about trying to open it up after reading Rob's post. 20 screws?? were you able to do it without any problem? Did you have any trouble getting everything back together once it was apart?

I have the 43S425. It came with an IR remote, not RF.  Just  did a quick google search and though it is a little unclear from the variety of info, I did find one reply that said "this TV does not come with a bluetooth adapter" - so that at least is a relief. 

I am pretty new to learning about RF. No one ever informed me of the risks, and I was unaware there were any. Over the years anytime I have ever heard  anyone express concern there was always someone who immediately dismissed his concerns as unfounded. I wrongly assumed that meant there were no real risks.  Maybe there is something hidden in the fine print of all the wireless/cellular devices discussing risks which I never read. 

I didn't even start to get interested until I realized a smart meter had been installed on our house without our knowing it. At that point, trying to get better informed, I read Kane's book on cellular radiation. Then I was horrified to think of all the times in the past I have slept with my iphone right next to my head!  Not to mention it is also usually right next to me all day long. I have to say I am shocked and disturbed that the knowledge Kane lays out in that book is not common knowledge.  It seems astonishing that the public has not been educated about the risks, and that very few people have a clear picture of the dangers of these technologies -  including myself until very recently.  A few weeks ago I could not have made this post and was literally surrounded on every side by wifi and bluetooth devices.

I have just now started thinking about how many things are emitting RF in my  house - how many I can get rid of, and how many I can reduce using.

I  did notice your old post in which you said that the TV actually had to be removed for power or it will not stop transmitting wifi. So last night I unplugged the TV, turned off the wifi repeater upstairs, and disabled every single wifi/cellular device in my bedroom. The result? I woke up for the first time in years with no aches and pains. I am a longterm sufferer of chronic pain, so believe me when I say waking up free of pain is not a minor incident. Usually the morning is my worst time. I am actually so surprised and intrigued by this that I have decided, if nothing else, I will definitely continue to experiment with reducing and eliminating as much RF from my house as possible so that I can observe the results.  Which means I will probably end up opening up this TCL TV, hesitant as I am to do it!

I would like to buy an RF meter myself but am reluctant because of the high price. What kind of meter do you use? Are there any less expensive ones that actually work? From what I've read any meter under $200 is basically useless. I don't understand why these things are so insanely expensive?
