    No one is forcing you to connect your TV to the Internet. You can use it in offline mode and it will work just fine.

      My definition of “just fine” isn’t a weird little Android spinoff. TV should have a normal input selector, maybe a settings menu.

      Hopefully this is true because I’ve heard from people trying to do just that with other “Smart TVs” that won’t work at all without an internet connection and account at least for initial setup.
