I haven't bought a TV in a decade. What kind of setup is required? Why would it need internet access for that?

    I don't think internet was required for setup, but in each case I did want to get the latest firmware in case there were fixes to the UI or whatever. But I never use the built-in apps or anything, I have a media box for that stuff.
