That's the backup plan, yes. I haven't looked at newer TVs recently, but I wouldn't be surprised if they still had some kind of ads even if they don't connect to the internet, or they require connecting to the internet to activate the TV or something dumb like that.
My current TV only connects for Netflix, and I'm this close to cutting that out (just need my wife to finish her series). Everything else is on my Jellyfin server, and if I can get everyone to switch to that, I won't need any kind of internet connection for the TV.
