    If you bought a Vizio TV 4 years ago it now has a “feature” where it switches inputs to the ad-ridden integrated android system if it detects that whatever input you are on doesn’t have a signal for more than 5 seconds. Even if you pull it from the network it still tries to load it anyway. It’s becoming unavoidable even for those of us who roll our own solutions.

      Why would you even connect your TV to the network in the first place? I use an LG Smart TV but I never connect it to the internet.

        To use the android-based remote (which was actually pretty cool at the time tbh)

          I almost never need the remote of the TV. I just use my HTPC running Kodi which I can connect to a remote app on my phone if I want to.
