If I don’t really own my car then I shouldn’t be able to obtain title to it...What next? Smart homes really aren’t yours? I "own" a premium smart TV, and two of the three most-used apps disappeared off of it within the last year - one without warning. The content providers and the TV manufacturer couldn't some to terms on licensing, I guess. Boy was I surprised to learn that I didn't have a say in retaining what I paid extra for!

That right there is a violation of your rights to property and they will eventually be sued in class action.

You'll never go back. I haven't accessed the smart apps since.

Better to just turn off the smart TV features and use your own Roku, Raspberry Pi running RaspBMC, or the like.
