Sure, but it's totally possible to just sit on the sofa and watch it rather than type in your wifi password and connect it to the internet. AS long as you just use it as a dumb screen, physically disconnected from the network, it'll keep doing it's job for year and years. My TV is a Smart TV. I've never use that part of it. In fact, it came with a second remote control for managing the Smart features and I've never even put batteries in it let alone given the panel network access. It's been happily humming along in dumb mode for about 4 years I think. Just plug a cheap accessory of your choice in (Fire TV, Chromecast, Roku, self built HTPC etc) and enjoy!
