televisions of the near future when you first turn them on: “Internet connection and account required to complete initial product set up.”

My TV channels now come in through an app and just recently it started working on my Nvidia shield, still I can’t really disconnect the net from my samsung tv because explaining to my father how to use the tv app is already hard, he would not handle using it through the nvidia shield.

I would immediately return that as defective. I’d rather use that old 1980’s portable TV that’s been collecting dust in my closet since they shut down the analog TV broadcasts.
