Just so you know, you could've still returned the television. If a software update changes functionality to the worse, the product is no longer as advertised, and you are free to return it - after you have given them a chance to correct the faults (following german laws). Restoring to the old firmware and thus not having updates does not count, as that lowers the quality as well (as compared to the advertized state). We had that discussion with the PS3 Linux removal feature. Besides, showing BILD in a prominent place and making that unchangeable shows that they really have not the slightest idea of german society. You can do that with the three million (normally uneducated) people who can stand this crap, but for everyone else that will cause an allergic reaction -> they did not even bother to do the slightest user acceptance study.
