My parents recently bought a Roku TV which indeed had to be connected to the internet. They didn’t care about any smart features they just wanted a cheap TV to watch the local news on. Trying to watch plain OTA TV stations was unbearable as the local channels were mixed in with the “free” internet channels and you couldn’t just skip to the channel you wanted- you had to cycle through. Thankfully they returned it. I told them to buy a dumb tv even if they have to pay more.
