    anyone have suggestions for a decent new TV that isn’t so invasive?

      I have an LG TV with all promotional stuff disabled. Not sure if they all do that, but my 65 inch TV is ad free!! For now.

        I see Alexa is on the LG TV, and there’s a way to turn it off in settings, but is it actually truly off when you do this (do u know)? lmao

          I try to not accept any optional terms and conditions and never set up any assistant. If I don’t accept all the legal stuff, those features stay disabled. Again, this depends on your TV and generation. I have the 65C1.

      plain old TV, and then add what you want? I have a flat screen, and a little roku box ($30 at Best Buy). I always wondered what you do if your Roku tv farts out–take the whole thing off the wall and tote it back to where you bought it? If something happens to my roku, or I don’t want it anymore, I just unplug it.
