      That’s the point they are making. Currently that’s possible. But what is stopping the producers to force you to hook it up to the internet?

        Not buying the tv might work… at mass. Like everyone. Please people, vote with your wallet/privacy.

        They already do, vizio sets and roku TV sets require an internet connection as soon as you power it on to set it up

          roku because you ‘need’ an account to use (try here for one without a payment method requirement).

          vizio must be a new thing for the current models. mine (bought last year, and was “last year’s” model then) didn’t need a net connection to set up for using as a ‘monitor’.
