You can just plug in an apple tv. Problem solved
- lotsofpulp 5y agoInteracting with a TV menu seems so alien to me. They all come with HDMI CEC, you never need to touch the TV remote. Apple TV, the IPTV boxes that pirate channels, Chome sticks and fire sticks, even cable and satellite set top boxes. It makes almost no difference to anyone unless TV manufacturers start popping up ads randomly while you are watching tv.
- mrlatinos 5y agoVizio tracks set top devices like the Apple TV as well. They do this through Inscape.tv - which basically tracks a pixel in the corner to fingerprint what you are watching, they record this real time along with your location, wifi info, etc. and create advertising audiences or sell the data in "anonymized" form. This is always running whether you're using an app, watching antenna TV, or using a third party device. The only way to prevent it is DNS blocking with something like the pihole. And that's if they allow you to change the DNS lookup address.
- thefounder 5y agoWhy would you connect the TV to the internet if you have Apple TV? Vizio can't send any data if it's not connected to the internet.
