Because personally I never ever would configure internet on my TV. I just use HDMI as input.
But this is also because I don't have cable TV. Imho dropping cable TV is one of the best ROIs you can make.
- littlecranky67 5y ago> I wonder if those stories are really true. Me too, I strongly suspect it is just a rumour or urban legend. I can't find any reliable sources that could name a vendor or model number of TVs that do this. And it is not like it would be hard to prove/verify for tech-journalists, yet there has been no credible report of it. I do, however, think that there are quite some TVs out there that will just refuse to work if you don't connect them/shut of the internet. But if you get one of those, just return it to the store.
