Would you consider a middle ground for movie watching? I understand you don’t want to hook up your LG to the internet, but would you considering booking up a fire stick, Roku, Apple TV, etc device for the purpose of streaming movies? You’d avoid the forced upgrades on your LG and suffer a minor inconvenience of streaming from another device which does have internet access. I don’t know what the ad’s situation is on those devices, but I’m sure with some research you could find a streaming device that hopefully meets your requirements. Another option is cast all the videos from a tablet or computer to the TV.

> for the purpose of streaming movies? My internet connection isn't always fast or reliable enough to stream 4K. I was considering buying an Apple TV until I read [1] which makes it very clear that even if you only use closed-OS close-filesystem Apple hardware, they still won't let you download 4K content ahead of time. > you could find a streaming device that hopefully meets your requirements. Apple TV, Roku, and Fire TV all don't allow 4K downloads. > Another option is cast all the videos from a tablet or computer to the TV. I'm not aware of any legal app for a computer that can download 4K. And iPad also doesn't allow 4K download, see [1].
