> Is this commonplace or is Roku the first of what's likely to be many doing the same? As far as I can tell, it's not only commonplace but ubiquitous for any new TV you buy these days. I recently moved and had to buy a number of TV sets over the years to outfit various guest rooms. All LG and Samsung TVs I've setup over the past 3 years have a "feature" like this you can manually disable if you dig down through menus enough. Then every firmware update the flag gets reset to enabled of course :)
