and, what is the point of a smart TV if you aren't using WiFi connected services (Netflix, VuDu, Amazon, etc)? #BuyDumbThen

So let it connect and assign a static, null-routed IP. Admittedly, probably beyond the average home user’s capabilities.

Antiques Roadshow, This Old House, Meet the Press, Jeopardy!, and every Big Bang rerun 600 times. Sell that, you bastards!

I see a new wave of TV OS hackers to root and modify your own TV.

I want them to have viewing data so shows I like do not get canceled.

actually went TV shopping this last weekend and "dumb" was the first requirement. I have a Roku for streaming, not a TV
