I don’t even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they’re saying…hey do you want a worse experience?

        Absolutely this. I’m lucky enough to have access to commercial & hospitality displays. Great picture quality and longevity with none of the forced online nonsense.

      this is one major reason i switched to a projector. The “smart” malware trend has not caught up to home cinema projectors

      While I agree with you these practices do bring prices down for consumers. I just have the TV off internet and use an AppleTV.

        Seriously… Like just don’t connect it to the Internet? I dont know how it works when you don’t have a PC though, it’s easy for me to say don’t connect it because my PC is what gets the data im watching. Maybe these people only have a smart TV so that they can watch streaming services with it.
