I agree with your suggestion we use a cheap "TV NOW" box obtained from ie Tesco`s. They work perfectly via Wi Fi provided you have a reasonable signal so are simple to install.
I think the reason people are upset is because buying one of these NowTV boxes, Roku etc... is that then there's no point in having a "Smart TV" if you're having to use another box.
I do agree with what your saying but this argument has gone on for months. As you realise I`m sure its all to do with a deal set up between ITV and Samsung etc. I do not believe we will ever get round this easily, only way is to circumvent the problem by using other methods. Remember the major manufactures ie Sony, Panasonic, LG, etc, etc would love to offer it if they could.
They dearly would love to sell even more sets if they could. I was in the television business for 50 yrs so I know a little of how they work.
what a perfect solution NOT fix a "smart tv" that was sold with support by having to purchase another device AND have a tablet or phone streaming to it🤗🤗🤗
