So today is 3/2 and up pops the notice to accept updated terms & conditions. I actually read things so the only thing changing is what you have to do in order to sue them. Fine T&C change however the effective date was 11 days ago (Feb 20th).
Considering they have the ability to push the T&C updates out electronically I'm wondering why this is retroactive.
Smart TV with no Ethernet cable attached and without wireless configured = dumb TV. Simple. We've had our Samsung smart TV dumbed down since it was purchased several years ago. Works good; lasts long time.

Oh, you are going to love the ATSC 3.0 DRM (also called ATSC-NG) that the FCC approved as part of the standard when using "publicly licensed" RF spectrum to transmit.
Ever run into a BluRay which requires the player to have internet access to play? That is coming to over the air transmissions as well! Welcome to the next-gen age in which something can be "encrypted" and "public" at the same time.
The good news is as far as I can tell, none of the current Roku TVs encourage the adoption of ATSC 3.0 (as in none of them seem to support it).
