An investigation by Gamers Nexus found LG smart TVs sweep local networks to map phones and nearby devices. Tests also showed the sets can capture microphone audio with the screen off — they then upload data once reconnected to the internet.

    Is this with accepting all their terms and functionality, or also when declining?

      I don’t know anything about those TVs, but i bet that if you decline you just have a fancy brick on your table, just like with every smartphone

        On my TV I can use it and its apps just fine even without “smart audio”, “smart filters”, or the “speak into the remote” or “listen for speaking”.

          Yeah but if there is a new TOS you prolly must accept it, what you lusted are some functionalities that you can just not use

            I don’t get what you mean.

            When they update, they’re still separate agreements.
