As long as I can keep the TV offline to operate it I'm fine with it. The day it needs to be online to work is where I'll be seriously pissed enough that I'll return it without hesitation.
- cm2187 7y agoLike Sonos did. And I did what you said. Into the trash can.
- rsync 7y agoSonos needs to be called out for the dramatic disparity between how they present their products and what those products actually do. Their userbase is almost universally clueless as to what it is these devices are doing and what the goals of Sonos, as a company, must be. They should have been one of the good ones - and I had such enthusiasm for their products - but they have proven to be very, very antagonistic towards their users.
- TheHegemon 7y agoWait, what is Sonos doing that am I missing?
- cm2187 7y agoForce you to register and login or they brick your device. Stuff a recording device connecting to amazon in what should otherwise be a speaker.
- Kaiyou 7y agoHow can you be sure it's offline? Possibly it has wireless capabilities that work without your consent..
- downtide 7y agoWe have a house without any Internet connection - that would require at least a mobile link.
- tjoff 7y agoDon't worry, in a few years they will have their own sim card and network. This behavior is despicable and we must not accept it just because "I wouldn't connect the network cable/wifi anyway". Because one day that isn't an option and by then it is already too late.
- downtide 7y agoThey are missing a trick with peer to peer piggy backs.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoYou can see what devices are connected to your router for one. Also not if you: factory reset or change the password.
