Mine updates daily for whatever reason which I'm fine with.

The update I hate is the "household update" simply because unlike other daily update, it doesn't notify you beforehand and even worse, if you're using Netflix when the update happens, they don't pause the show for you.

They instead just show the updating screen with the sound of the show, forcing you to either restart whatever you were watching or memorize the time stamps because the show continues from whatever it stopped at when the thing reboots.

It's absolutely fucking stupid and I hate it. Wish the TV would take the hint and stop updating after the first few declines for daily updates.

What brand and type is it? Maybe it has an option to disable auto-updates.

Seems like it's got to be moderately hard not to buy a smart tv at this point...

Anyways, none of my tvs have ever had to do daily updates and that sounds super annoying. All of my tvs are smart and none of them have ever done an update without some kind of input from me. I would be super annoyed by your tv.

It can be, frustratingly so, especially depending on the features wanted.

^ That's what I did

Bought the TV, got a Roku and Google (always asking me to connect the TV to the net) can go screw itself

Never connected any of mine to the internet. I have no use for a TV being on my internet. My computer and phones can use it because I actively use them to look up stuff, but a TV is just a monitor. Why would I give a monitor internet access.

BUMP

My Roku is connected but I don't think it's done a single update in the nearly two years I've had it.
