I often read statements on HN in reaction to articles like this, saying “I’d willingly pay more for a TV that doesn’t do this...”.
Those TVs do exist: Loewe make really nice TVs which don’t depend on internet connectivity to work[1]. And depending on how seriously the “pay more” part is meant, the Danish company Bang & Olufsen[2] make enormously expensive TVs that won’t spy on you, or insert advertisements into your films.

- CivBase 7y agoI've never heard of them. Thanks! I'll check them out for my next TV. I still wish mainstream, highly accessable brands would provide the option, though.
