Does anyone got any television recommendations for dumb tv’s or other words none smart tv’s? Or even a tv that is smart but the software is open sourced making it privacy friendly?
Not saying you’re wrong, but I never had to create an account on my TCL TV running the Roku TV software. You can even choose an input to start up to, so I never even see the home screen ads.
Wouldn’t surprise me if it varies by model, but I’ve had no issues just having mine start up to a Fire Stick connected to my home Plex server (though Fire Stick comes with its own problems).
