My TCL TV bootloops if it goes more than 3 months without downloading fresh ads. If you contact support, they walk you through connecting to the network.

Can't connect to network. I don't have internet. Sorry. Returning TV back because it does not work.

This reminds me of my friend in the 2000's that would say "I don't have email" when stores asked for his email address. Even at the time, quite unusual unless you were over 70 years old.

Apples ‘hide my email’ is gold for this crap.
It’s less cringy than ‘oh, it’s <the_store_name@<my_domain>.com’

That's more cringy than just saying you don't have an email address.

huh, my TCL is fine disconnected... The only irritating this as a flashing light around the power-button/ir-reciever that comes on when it can't connect to a network, but I've stopped noticing it.

Is it a RokuOS or Google TV?
My Roku one has none of those problems.
