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.
This is basically impossible unless you are buying commercial grade. Just buy whatever TV you want and never connect it to the internet.
So how do you get stuff from internet (anything from Netflix to HBO) to the TV? Connecting PC? Not very practical and convenient. Connecting something like android/apple tv box? How does this differ from having the same built in? Just asking, because I’m really curious.

The same way you would with a dumb TV. Connect a computer, game console, flash drive, DVD player, etc. It differs from built in services because these TVs collect a truly unparalleled amount of data on you. That seems harmless, until a) bad actors get hold of that information—you might not care if Roku knows everything about you including payment info, but some russian hacker is a different story—or b) the increasing power that the advertising industry holds over our society turns Fifteen Million Merits into a documentary
