    Don’t connect to any networks. There, it’s “dumb”.

      not a permanent solution… some are experimenting with making a network connection mandatory to work at all

        Don’t buy those. TV doesn’t get to decide what gets plugged into the video in.

          Again, that’s the issue… look how hard it is to get a dumb TV today…

          I could choose today to skip the TV that requires network to work but soon they will all join the trend and it would be impossible to avoid

            So if your input is HDMI from a small desktop computer, it still makes you connect to a network? If this is true, it sucks, I’ve never seen it. I always use a 3rd party media player like an Nvidia shield. My tv has never been on a network.
