That's my only gripe with my ONN box... the remote gets updates. seems sus. But I don't give it microphone permissions so hopefully that's sufficient.

    One hint that it's still listening is if it runs through batteries too fast. If it lasts at least a year, you should be okay. I had to get a Chinese knock-off remote without a microphone for my last TV to stop it.
