If you use streaming at all, you can't defend against all data collection, but you can minimize it. Don't put your TV on your network. Use a streaming box and keep it powered off unless you're using it. Not just turned off, but unplugged.

A TV that's plugged into power and is on your LAN is way too opaque about what it's doing when, and it has access to too many ways of sensing what you are doing.
