> The fact that's completely impossible to buy a dumb TV anymore

There's still a commercial/industrial market segment that manufacturers target (digital signage, hospitality/hospital TV systems, etc).

The TVs produced for those segments are either dumb, or give the owner control over the device.

Those typically don't have tuners, but in the age of the cable box that hardly matters.

If you don't mind paying for shitty tv, then yeah, I guess.
