Thank you for sharing this information. I have a 10 year-old tv that I might get replaced soon, so your comment is very helpful. >You can't even use those tvs without the privacy invasion equipment activated. Could you elaborate further? If I don't connect a samsung smart TV to my network, shouldn't I still be able to use it as a normal TV?
