Earlier you wrote,
Almost certainly - but that is what I agreed to when I bought the TV.
And wrote that they should at least let you select an input without agreeing to new terms.
Now someone attempts to offer you a solution where you only need to agree to those original terms and get a separate streaming device like you asked for and you brush them off?
The situation with roku is unacceptable but please be reasonable with the people trying to help.
How on earth is saying "I would prefer not to do something" being unreasonable with people?
Saying you wanted something then changing the goal when someone offers you a way to get it is uncool.
"I wish my cancer riddled grandmother wasn't suffering."
"Well, you could always just kill her! Then she would feel anything!"
???
Even more so, I didn't even disagree or say that they were wrong. Just that I'd prefer not to do that because, along with my grandmother not suffering, I also want her to be alive. Contrary to popular belief, humans are capable of wanting multiple things at the same time. Have you ever been thirsty while you had to pee?
You said you were fine with the original terms of service. You said you wished there was a way to select an input without agreeing to new terms. This person suggested a way to get what you asked for. You said that's not good enough. :(
Sigh...
I don't think that you fully understand what the word "prefer" means. I said that I don't want to give up access to my third-party apps if possible, not that I would never consider a factory reset.
It might help to grab a dictionary before you start policing the internet from your porn account.
You can't always get what you want.
