Does this happen with Chromecast as well? I'm totally fine with disconnecting my tv since I only use it via Chromecast anyways. Smart tv makes no sense to me si

  The spying is one thing, but you're right: SmartTVs doesn't make sense, because the software sucks. If Sony, Phillips or some other manufacture made a SmartTV with software that rivalled the AppleTV, or even just a Chromecast, then it would make some sense to save the money from the AppleTV and buy a better TV. The thing is that all of the SmartTVs I tried are slow and confusing. You're better off buying a cheaper TV and getting the $200 AppleTV HD. If you factor in the cost of developing shitty software, then maybe there would be more profit in just release a new dumb TV.
