    Go ahead, make TVs more smart. We literally removed our TV thus weekend. If you want me to upgrade it, please removed the spyware.

      My tvs are connected to an SSID that can’t hit the internet. I blocked them before but my dumb ass neighbor left their WiFi unprotected and my tvs just connected to them because it couldn’t get out the internet on my network. So I created an SSID logged them in and blocked it from the internet. It doesn’t bounce to open WiFi anymore. If I block it completely from the network the WiFi just disconnects from the network because it can’t hit anything. I have LG’s.

        The fact that they just desperately jump on any network is absurd. Its acting like malware.

        That is an insane thing to have to do. Having to manipulate your TV into not doing something you don’t want or require it to do.

      Same. The only ‘TV’ I currently own is my monitor. Fuck that shit, I’m so over modern television as a concept.
