  Yup. Especially since “smart TVs” that are WiFi connected can spy on your HDMI connection. Samsung, LG and Visio were caught doing it.

    After all the shit I’ve seen and heard about the creepy shit smart TV manufacturers get up to I am never ever connecting a smart TV to the internet in my home.

      I didn’t connect my free Roku TV to the new wifi, and suddenly the remote works like shit. Turns out, it’s a wifi remote that would rather not use infrared and the infrared receiver has been slightly blocked this whole time.

      The way to set it up without connecting it to wifi is very hidden. I had to look it up after because I couldn’t figure it out. I fucking hate smart tvs.

        I hate the Wi-Fi remote thing. My TV has a Wi-Fi remote and it runs off of AA battery and they last about 4 days and then run out. If I hadn’t replaced them with rechargeable ones they would have probably had to open a new landfill site just for my old batteries.
