Thats instant grounds for breaking Consumer law here in the UK. I'd be returning the TV and if they didnt accept. Small claim court.

Why do you only give offers to people that havent signed up? People who have an email with them but never have had any other services still dont get the offers ?

Depends on the instance id say. I run one and its not a void but the big ones are for sure.

I Remember seeing his name in a list of "celebs" that had signed up at the time.

He actually joined mastodon in November last year but left again because some wasteland instances took to attacking him AFAICR. He just wants to wallow in his own crapulence now

Paypal was built on the idea of a system that was without regulations that were tough. Paypal in the UK operated out of Ireland up until recently out of FCA control knowing full well they were committing fraud on a grand scale with things like "We're closing your account and if you want your money back get in contact with us in 180days time" which was the email people used to get when the system didnt like you for any reason.

No they'd have to make the lights just work if the EU got involved. AFAIK

Its actually illegal under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in the UK for a product to force a change on its functionality after you bought it.
Also surprised if EU law will allow this ?
I for one will be seeking a refund for the products either directly or through a court just to show them up.

Update Note Showing Consumer Rights Act 2015 "Goods Not Fit For Purpose" alone is enough to demand your money back. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/15/section/10
and as it relies on digital content to support them and this is where the main problem is, section 40 applies where they changed it for the worse
