RolingMetal@tweedge I bought a "smart" tv last year. And for perhaps 2 day I had it connected to the internet. Then I decided that I didn't like it and unplugged it. I expect you can do the same with a smart fridge :)

Depends on where you live. If you don't pay for the public media services, it's illegal to use an antenna. Many people therefore use their TVs as monitors for Netflix or to play back video files locally and depending on what your thing is, this doesn't work well without a network connection.

@TimWardCam @tweedge In the Netherlands the national tv and some local stations are using DVB-T. Were I live cable tv is not an option. Actually a new DVB-T standard "forced" me to buy a new tv :(
DaanWilmer@TimWardCam @uberprutser @tweedge Thing is, I don't want my TV directly connected to the internet. Something else, like a Chromecast, is fine, as long as it's made by a company that is somewhat competent at software and hardware. Plus, it's usually easier and cheaper to replace when it gets outdated (as opposed to the processor in smart TVs, which usually is already on the slower end when brand new).
