Got it — thanks for clarifying 🙏. If your LG TV can’t connect to Wi-Fi or Ethernet, then the LG ThinQ app won’t work. That leaves you with only two solid fixes:

===== - You need a remote that can open All Settings → General → Simplink (HDMI-CEC). =====
* Even a cheap $8–10 universal LG-compatible remote will do.
* Search for “LG TV remote replacement” or “LG Magic Remote replacement”.
* Without this, you’re basically locked out of the deep menu settings that control HDMI behavior.

===== - This is a little dongle that plugs between your HDMI cable and TV. =====
* It physically cuts off the HDMI “CEC” pin, so your PC can only send video + audio.
* No menus, no TV control, nothing extra.
* Cost: about $5–10 (search for “HDMI CEC blocker” or “CEC-less HDMI adapter”).
* Example: - Lindy CEC-Less Adapter - BlueRigger HDMI CEC Blocker
* Completely plug-and-play.

🔒 Since you don’t have network access and no LG remote, the CEC-blocking adapter is your only way to immediately stop the PC from controlling your TV.

👉 Do you want me to find you a safe Amazon/eBay link to the exact adapter so you can just order one?
