    Bravia TV owners who keep their TVs offline (and thus reduce the amount of tracking and ads experienced) and rely on an antenna connection can still access a TV guide through the TV’s OS.

    And this is why you never connect your TV directly to the Internet (if you can help it). Current Bravia TV’s have a ‘basic TV’ option on setup. When that’s selected it doesn’t expect you to connect it. And by taking this option it remains completely severed from bullshit updates that strip away features.

    Let the TV just be a TV, and let streaming be handled through a separate streaming box.
