Did your Roku TV decide to strong arm you into giving up your rights or lose your FULLY FUNCTIONING WORKING TV? Because mine did.
It doesn’t matter if you only use it as a dumb panel for an Apple TV, Fire stick, or just to play your gaming console. You either agree or get bent.
I will never buy a smart TV, ever. I don’t care if I’m left behind.

Lobotomize them after buying.
There are, but they’re old or not of the best quality. Last time I had a Sceptre TV, and I had to use a sound bar because the speakers were awful. But it was as dumb as it could be, so I was happy with that.
Edit: The only reason I gave it up is because of lack of space in my new apartment. I miss that TV.

Unfortunately. I personally prefer not to give money to those fuckers.

No, I don’t really have to. I’ve lived without a TV for more than a year. I miss it sometimes, but it’s not like my life is falling apart because of it.
Awesome that you have a dumb TV. I’ll try and get me one as soon as I have extra space.

only sceptre makes dumb TVs anymore, and their quality varries wildly

What I did. I have two smart TVs.
Fuckers have never once been online. You can even go the extra mile and open them up and unplug the wifi antenna (or just remove the wifi card if its slotted and not integrated into the mainboard)
I brought mine online long enough to do an initial firmware update. That was it. I may bring it online long enough to do another one, but I’m going to google first to be sure they haven’t done something like Roku here without my having heard about it.
I wouldnt even do that unless there is an actual issue you are having that can only be fixed with a firmware update.
