I don't use the apps on my smart TV because I have a separate streaming device and I don't trust that the smart TV apps will be updated properly.

Same. I refused to connect it to the internet.

Just make sure you check the release notes for firmware updates for the TV, and install them if they fix any issues you're encountering. Obviously it can't auto update without an internet connection, so it'll never tell you if there's an update itself.

Their firmware updates fix security holes I've exploited, so I can't

Yeah of course I would connect for a fw update if I had any sort of issues. However, it turns on. It shows my content... It can stay offline until that day

I still have an old dumb tv, but if this one breaks I'll have to try and find another one to hook my roku up to.
