> It does not need a traditional TV tuner, cable or antenna connector or any other remnants of a previous era in TV technology. They drive up the cost, increase the complexity and bulk up the form factor, while serving no modern purpose. It’s time to throw them out.
The UK still uses over-the-air broadcast tv, so this point is wrong for the UK.
My TV has an integrated DVD player - that is a boon.
- kyriakos 11y agoYou can get TV tuner with HDMI out for 20pounds. It doesn't have to be in the actual TV.
- mavhc 11y agoNow just make Harmony remotes cost $5 and be 1000 times easier to use
- maccard 11y agoAnd now I've got another device sitting on my desk, not what I want..

- ZeroGravitas 11y agoIf they can save a noticeable sum of money by mass producing TVs that have a global market, then people in the UK that use satellite, cable, or streaming only-services would be a sizeable market to aim for.
- DanBC 11y agoI don't know why you got downvoted. Over the air is very popular in the UK and most people with a tv will watch some over the air content, but those people will be moving to digital or freeview services, which have their separate boxes.
- SixSigma 11y agoOut of the four TVs I am likely to watch, all of them have Freeview built in.

I have a TV; it isn't wired to cable, antenna, or any other video source. It has a cable for my laptop, a Chromecast, and game consoles hooked up to it.
