I'm going to be buying a couple extra older flat screen plasma TVs very soon as my family can still use those without any internet or any remote intervention. We still use DVDs and external USB drives with digital media because we enjoy owning the content physically and it's nice having backups that cannot be easily taken away from us. Newer TVs are now mandating online registration and subscription just like the modern vehicles *puke*!!! Welcome to the death of free market capitalism where governments run the economy and dictate what can or cannot be manufactured and destroy consumer choice. Only way out will be to flee to the older tech and have a couple backups for redundancy.
