    Or I could just accept my place and watch the ads and go along with all the caveats like a good consumer. I don’t see that happening.

      My Vizio smart TV’s smart features won’t work if you don’t accept the terms of use. HDMI inputs worked though, and probably TV tuner… didnt try it. I eventually accepted of course, but that might be an option for you.

      Just buy a smart tv and don’t connect it to internet. You’ll get to buy from the same selection and enjoy the subsidized price.

      I have a mix of smart and dumb TV’s.

      All of them show me the same number of ads: zero.

      All of them have the same level of access to networks (LAN/WAN): none.

      Worst offender is a legacy Roku that keeps up it’s direct connect WiFi broadcast, but it’s on its own isolated VLAN.
