    Was gonna say, LG does the same thing.

    So far my only TV that hasn’t forced things in an absurd way has been my Sony… Guess what Sony just did? (Sold their Bravia TV line to TCL…)

      I’ve never connected my LG TVs to the internet and they work pretty well.

      I hear you can jailbreak them, which is appealing to me.

        Are people loading AOSP on there or something? I’m tired of the telemetry and ads LG built in, but my blocklists have seemed to block one of my LG TVs from working. I have a disabled adult in my home and I think Kodi might be too complex for them.

          The person I was talking to just said they had jailbroken WebOS (LG runs webOS not android) and could do whatever.

          Mine’s never connected to the internet before, so I don’t really feel any need to jailbreak it. Though apparently you can ssh in and do stuff, and that sounds kinda cool.

        Mine definitely does, disables applications and will lock the screen on update demand if you go long enough. At the bottom of the tv says it LG.
