I only connect to internet if my tv needs an update. Generally hardware inside TVs are super slow too.

Do I have Nvidia shield connected that been debloated with a simple launcher, which is connected to my router that's running a VPN + DNS filter.

There are/were already TVs that automatically connect to any public WiFi or even have their own SIM card.

I reset my Android TV to stock before the ads, block all updates, and just run Plex and Netflix when I choose.

Probably going to take it further in the future and just use a little android media stick and nuke the SmartTV is entirely because of how badly it lags.

Absolutely insane how badly AndroidTVs perform after a year or so of ownership. If I could revert the core software updates I would.

Also, wifi causes the entire TV to become a laggy unusable mess. Has to be plugged in over ethernet. Absolutely unbelievable.
