Don't forget TV brands like samsung and LG who force some apps down your throat even if you don't want them. You can't remove those apps. Amazon is even worse with their firetv devices, they just install apps on your behalf that you can't remove. We don't own anything anymore.
Ya but I can just use a box and not have the TV itself connected to the internet and you can have it in gaming mode so you basically never see the splash screen with all tha crap
I do this as well, but the smart TV bullshit on my Vizio constantly switches itself back on.
I have a button on my remote now that fixes my input by switching to the box in one fell swoop because this happens so much. There is no setting to stop this, as I already have it set to not change the input.
