    How do people tolerate this? Just looking at this pic makes me want to turn it off and throw it out the window.

    Literally nothing about the interface is about the user. It all screams everything except what you might want or need. Well, maybe the Zootopia tile is good, of all things, but not much else.

      I’m on the home screen for one second. The remote, in fact, has buttons on it, I don’t even need to look at the home screen.

      You can add or remove tiles as you see fit (although they definitely like to add some for you from time to time), but like I said, I barely use the tiles.

      I love people on here who don’t and have never used it expressing any feelings on it at all. Like, why do you care, other than were all here (on the internet) just to get mad about shit?

      They were born in it, moulded by it, they’ve never seen a world without an add somewhere in it.

      They “don’t have” the technical expertise or energy to avoid it.

        That’s very true. I don’t mean they should run their own Linux on their TV’s or something, I’m more like…not having a smart TV at all must be better than this abomination.

          You have to spend a multiple of a smart TV and buy a commercial TV (as in the type of TVs businesses use for display) to ensure a dumb tv if you can’t lobotomize it yourself.

          So I have one of these pos “onn.” Wal Mart brand Roku tvs. It was legitimately the cheapest 40 something inch tv (250bucks?) they had to offer, I did not realize that the smart part isn’t like an input it’s the home screen every time u power it on. Had I known, I would have spent up to 100 bucks MORE to just have a regular ass TV. Live and learn I suppose.

            You should get a Google TV one. You can select basic TV mode and it lets you set it up without Wi-Fi and has the option to power on to last input.

          Smart TV is basically what most people would buy if not an apple TV. Amazon and Roku sticks are still around.
