I also got an A80 in Europe and never accepted the TC and never signed in with Google. Have an Apple TV and a console. Even if the whole Bravia Sync doesn't work by any chance, if the TV is on and the Apple TV or console are not, I only see the Sony screensaver and nothing else. The whole home screen is empty because I'm not signed into Google, but I don't even remember how to get there, because you can just use the Apple remote or PS controller to turn it on and off - meaning that I also never used the TV remote.
- tristor 4y agoSounds pretty much how I use mine. I just turn on the Xbox Series X, and via CEC it turns the TV on, once I'm done, I turn off the console and the TV turns off. In basic mode it doesn't even list the "apps" on the TV, so you can't even accidentally click on them. From the Sony remote its just input controls, settings, and the home screen which is just a list of inputs.
- lancesells 4y agoI do exactly the same thing. My remote was used once to adjust the picture when I first bought it but has never been used since. I've never connected it to Wifi and it more or less acts as a dumb display.
