Just don’t connect it to the internet.
This is the way. I have an LG and bought one for my parents. Do the initial sign up/registration, then turn off Internet access. I actually thought mine was broken when I got it, but it was just my pihole blocking it. Temporary whitelist for setup, smooth sailing since.
But you can just block all the ads on the home screen with pihole. Then you can still use the native TV apps. It's a win-win.
If you turn off Internet access then your parents can't stream.
