Every single SmartTV OS does this fyi.
Common tactic is to refuse it wifi connection but looks like they caught on to this too.
How so? What do you mean?
never allow your TV connect to any network but there is another comment up thread stating that some sammy tv won't permit you to connect HDMI device until you connect tv to internet
So return it if you bought a TV like that.
Buy these things with a credit card. If the store refuses a return or demands a restocking fee, credit card dispute. Visa doesn't fuck around with this stuff.
I've talked to many people who have modern samsung qd oleds and I've literally never heard that once. I'm pressing x to doubt

Any recommended firewall block lists (or allow lists) for Roku?
put it on a damn VLAN with no access to the internet. maybe through a whitelisting proxy. otherwise you won't know if it just evades your measures by using some encrypted tunnel or anything
Probably a catch-all for their next generation of Roku devices they're developing.
It is definitely a catch all, disclosure of this information is required by California law, that is the only reason they even put it in the policy. They seem to have accidentally released it worldwide, which is why they reverted it, now it only shows if you have a California ip.
Why would I use Roku anyways? It's such an inferior television operating system.
I've had good luck with it for years in comparison to Samsungs junk. I only briefly tried LGs when I bought my C3 but fell back to the Roku because it's simpler to use (as a CEC device to turn on the audio receiver and change inputs automatically) and syncs between other Rokus. It also has the least amount of issues with Plex and all my Linux ISOs since they're in varying formats that don't always play nice with other clients (like the god damned POS Xbox client).
I understand there's a lot of tracking and phoning home but it's the least worst option in my experience.
