Yeah I see people bitching about their TV showing ads on menus and I'm wondering why the hell anyone would hook a smart TV to the internet in the first place.
Well I do know some of them won't work until you set them up with an account, i.e. the cheaper Roku TVs. That being said, I'd disconnect it right after.
Because that's how you get access to most of the functionality people would want a smart TV for.
Sure you can just hook it up to cable and a blu ray player but most people want a smart TV to stream from Hulu or other services.
You can set up a local service to stream video from your own media server, but that's beyond most users technically
the answer is consumerism
