LG TVs sound like a nightmare. They spy on what you’re watching, listen to what you’re saying and doing, open a doorway into your home network for malware, and put you on the hook for whatever some pedo decides to download through your IP address via one of these proxy-infested apps. Plus their monitors have been silently installing highly privileged adware that is also probably spyware on people’s PCs, and popping up big unwanted ads for McAfee etc. that users can’t turn off.
Samsung are the same, and even more aggressive with the adware. There’s really not a lot of decent consumer hardware these days that aren’t just obnoxious ad pipelines.
Same thing here, I really don’t understand point of connecting that thing to the internet any android box or pc gonna handle things better for multimedia living room
Especially when all of the media is streamed locally from our own server. Why would I need external connection outside the network? So LG can spy on me? I’m good.

I have one. It’s not connected to the Internet, and it doesn’t complain about it. Works great for me.
Yep! My C3 is never on WiFi and we love it. Ad free Home Screen and we just use a different device to run all our applications.
