Which violates the warranty. And if the TV can’t phone home it can just refuse to boot. So you need to root and modify firmware too.

The answer is not giving these companies money.

Tv warranties are only a year so that’s not much to worry about. I bought a top of the line Samsung many years ago. The warranty lasted only a year and some capacitors burned out it took lots of phone calls to get them to repair as it’s a design defect.

I’ve had to do it myself once as well.

I don’t care about voiding my warranty.

Yeah, I agree, best is to vote with my wallet.

Second best, though, is getting out the soldering iron.
