At that point there won’t be a TV in our home. I simply won’t tolerate it on principle.

A bit of an aside but this T-Mobile thing too is really pissing me off. I’m fine with “if you don’t pay, you have to view ads”, but if I’m paying and still getting ads/tracking - not happy.

We need legislation and different technology options to capture this.

On the TV front - an enterprising young startup could make really nice looking TVs with guaranteed no ads and probably sell for at least double the price.



Maybe I'll look into "presentation displays" for my next "tv". I use an appletv and external audio anyway -- the "tv" is just for display only.


That’s what I do. Apple TV + Sony Bravia TV that has never been connected to the Internet, and external speakers. I was looking at others like Samsung but they came with this external piece for the TV (like a receiver type thing?) and I’m just like - I want this thing to just display video and output audio, not do all this other stuff.
