I remember that roku TVs refuse working until you connect it to the internet. their values/intentions are clear, I wouldn't give money to them
edit: they also require registering a roku account
Not true at all. Yes you do have to do an initial setup connected to the internet (and making a roku account), but after that you can disconnect it from the internet completely. It even looses its initial ad after a certain time.
oh that was it, the account requirement was what I wanted to remember but couldn't! was sure it was something even worse, thanks for the help.
yeah if I would buy such a TV by accident, I would bring it back within the return period and tell that it was faulty, because it is.
So it is true. Why do you call it not true?
