Did your Roku TV decide to strong arm you into giving up your rights or lose your FULLY FUNCTIONING WORKING TV? Because mine did.

It doesn’t matter if you only use it as a dumb panel for an Apple TV, Fire stick, or just to play your gaming console. You either agree or get bent.

    Unfortunately. I personally prefer not to give money to those fuckers.

      Well, yeah, but eventually you’ll have to. I currently have old Toshiba LCD which is super awesome. Not thin but works like a charm and came with all the schematics and bill of materials so it can be easily repaired. Needless to say I don’t plan on replacing it, but panel itself has expiration date unfortunately.

        No, I don’t really have to. I’ve lived without a TV for more than a year. I miss it sometimes, but it’s not like my life is falling apart because of it.

        Awesome that you have a dumb TV. I’ll try and get me one as soon as I have extra space.

          Mine is used as extra display for gaming and watching movies. That’s it. However it is more comfortable to sit on sofa when watching.

      Don’t worry about it, they sell the TVs at a loss because they expect to get the revenue back from ads. You’re costing them money when you buy one of their TVs.
