Because it interferes with the idea of a TV being a display. A TV should not have apps. If it does have apps, these apps should not communicate data to the manufacturer. It shouldn't send back data about the operating system because a TV shouldn't have an operating system.
- dangrover 7y agoI agree having an OS on a TV is gratuitous. But that doesn't change that the claims the headline made are not actually proven by the evidence presented.

- wodenokoto 7y agoOf course a TV should have an operating system. It needs menu's and options, video and audio codecs, up and downscaling algorithms and many many other things, just to be a dumb TV.
- Unklejoe 7y agoYou don't really need an operating system for any of that.
- rhinoceraptor 7y agoAll of those codecs and video processing are probably done in hardware regardless of whether it has a real OS or just a microcontroller.
