alt Hacker NewsIf this happens, our Roku TV is going in the trash. They locked out their customers of their own devices by pushing updated firmware that forced agreement to new terms. They lost my trust during that episode, and this move shows that was the right decision.
Meanwhile, Fox lost my respect decades ago. The idea that they could gain network level access to one of my devices cannot be reconciled with my need to feel secure and safe in my own home.
Anyone wanna take the opportunity to share their favorite brands and models of dumb TVs?

The closest thing you will fine to a dumb tv is a commercial display, which will not be available with the latest OLED, 120hz, etc.
You have to buy a smart TV and disable the internet + external device like Apple TV or Nvidia Shield.

You can find them in your local Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist region.
I think I’m going with a Google TV. I already trust them on my phones anyway.
If you want more control buy a pc monitor and some speakers or commercial display.
Any but never connect it to the internet and use an appletv
I use a sony projector as my tv -- it's a finicky expensive device, but the picture is good and there's no apps or network connection on it
