I'm not sure about generally, but on Roku specifically, the first step is to kick it off your network. I Mac address banned mine because it was connected to wireless. Then I could use the menus. I used them to factory reset the TV. During the reset process you hit "do this later" on anything that is trying to get you to connect to the Internet. Afterwards, you've got a plain dumb TV.
