G+_Eddie Foy Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Block the IP/ports. Or just do not hook it to the internet. This is beyond a non issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Terry Henderson Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 I hate to tell you this, but Samsung TV's don't let you get past the Internet set up screen, So you Can't watch TV even if you wanted to !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 LOL A TV that HAS to have internet to work? Thats why I ditched the crappy Harmony remote. (Also SAME reason I didn't update the Twitter app on Android: ZERO reason for access to mic) oooh gimmie shiny!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The idea of a "Smart" TV is pretty dumb. I don't want my TV to have apps that will get outdated and run on sub-par hardware. Not to mention, they probably have to charge $100+ more to make the Smart features worth it to them. The wife and I bought ourselves a new Vizio for Christmas and it has smart stuff (apps). Other than exploring just to see what's available, I've never used any of them. TVs don't really wear out. Adding apps gives the TV something to wear out and get old. All I want is for my TV to be a display for everything else: Fire TV, Chromecast, Blu-ray, PC, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
