De-Rokufied our new "Roku TV"

[mindless1]

Returned the Roku TV to Walmart for refund, got the newer TV (HiSense 55A7N from Target) up and running, not Roku this time but rather "Google TV". It's basically a glorified Android tablet with a ginormous screen! During first startup, it immediately asked if want to setup Google TV or 'Basic TV' i.e. without creating any online accounts.

Good luck. I'd never get a Google/Android Hisense again. Go with Basic TV and disable everything smart. Hisense development of their Google TV OS is buggy.

The worst inconvenience I've had with my Sony Bravia is the way it behaves when the DHCP lease is renewed at the router. I have to reboot the router and restart the TV. Other than that -- no problems. I use the twisted-pair wired connection, although I know the wireless option works fine.

Have you tried a static IP assignment? I mean set it on the router.
