yeah, depending on the devices i might firewall off their internet access.. or
put them on a network with no internet at all.

i also have all the devices on my network labeled in iptraf.. just watch the lan
station monitor for new stuff and if something can't be accounted for i get
suspicious ;) that's how i found out one of my tvs was calling home even when it
was off.. it's built in roku was pretty old so i ended up just taking out the
wifi password on there.
