My two TCL Roku TVs work without an Internet connection. This isn’t in defense of Roku TVs to be clear- I regret my purchase, but at least for now they do work offline.
Honestly despite the enshitification those TCL Roku TVs are/were some of the better value smart TVs.
I bought a Sony on sale at Costco and it’s a massive piece of shit. Randomly reboots, won’t turn on, requires a factory reset every month to keep working. Android TV is a way worse experience than the Roku stuff I’ve used.
Depends on the TV. Some can’t be used unless internet connected. Roku TVs are especially bad about this
