@unfnknblvbl@aus.social @dj2mn@mastodon.sdf.org @burgerdrome@aus.social Exactly this. I got a Vizio and connected it to WiFi to be able to use the streaming apps. After I did that the “TV” app took me to a list of free and freemium streaming TV services. I no longer had access to my OTA channels. No where in the menus could they be found. I couldn’t enter a channel number directly and the option to perform a channel scan in settings was gone.
It wasn’t until I factory reset and didn’t connect to WiIf did it function like a normal TV. I ended up getting a cheap Roku for the streaming stuff.

@FinnleyDolfin@tech.lgbt @unfnknblvbl@aus.social @dj2mn@mastodon.sdf.org @burgerdrome@aus.social I've got an older, non-smart Vizio and just connect my PC to it. It's basically a glorified Computer monitor, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
