I don’t even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they’re saying…hey do you want a worse experience?

    There are almost no dumb TVs on the market. Just get a smart tv and don’t hook it up to the internet. Use a separate streaming box

      Just avoid those no-name Mainland Chinese boxes.

        I was able to trick mine by connecting it to an AP with all traffic blocked. it assumes their services are down or something? and just slips right back into working fine with no nags or ads.

        Yes, they do.

          Newer TCLs, Vizios, and stuff running Roku embedded no longer allow this, completing the setup is mandatory to be able to use them.

          I assume you can just disconnect the internet after setup and they’ll be fine??

      There are almost no dumb TVs on the market.

      And that’s why you go out of your way to find the few that remain.
