Not as bad as Roku TVs which needs an account to do basic featuresby hnburnsy

I only use the Jellyfin/Plex apps on Xbox, never any Vizio apps, and the TV has never been online. Would this change affect users like me at all?by add-sub-mul-div

> Vizio OS has required a Vizio account since mid-2024If you were impacted, you ought to already have been by now. Can’t be as sure if you buy a new Vizio TV what will happen, though.

I'm not sure what the boundaries of Vizio OS are. If it's what runs when you switch to their smart apps input, I'll never see it. But if it's their basic settings menu and you can't use the HDMI inputs without an account, that's a dealbreaker.by add-sub-mul-div
