Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet?
kent_eh@lemmy.ca 4 days agoIs there a ful list anywhere of brands and models that lock non-network features behind a network connection requirement?
I’ve heard people complaining about some that don’t let you select HDMI input without first connecting to the internet and “activating” the TV, but the model is usually not specified in those complaints.

So I know for sure is avoid Roku like the plague! You cannot use it as a TV at all without a connection and creating an account.
