I want my smart Android TV to be dumb again (www.androidauthority.com)

Smart TVs are all well and good, but when ad-focused update lobotomized my new-ish Android TV, we hit a problem.

Sceptre makes a good dumb TV. I use one personally and other than taking a few extra seconds to boot up, it's fantastic. No WiFi info to load, no pop ups, just a big dumb pane of LEDs and ports to use them.

💯 I bought a Sceptre as a smaller living room TV, which became our main TV, and it’s great. A smart TV is just a good TV with a crap computer built into it. I’d rather just have the good TV.
