    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.
