On my TV I can use it and its apps just fine even without "smart audio", "smart filters", or the "speak into the remote" or "listen for speaking".
Yeah but if there is a new TOS you prolly must accept it, what you lusted are some functionalities that you can just not use
I don't get what you mean.
When they update, they're still separate agreements.
Yep ofc but in almost all cases they force you to agree or otherwise you cannot procede to use the device, at least that's what always happened to me with all smart TVs and phones i had with an exception or two of Samsung where i think the TOS update was not sbout the device itself
