I don't even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they're saying....hey do you want a worse experience?

I fucking hate my Roku Tv. One of my roku TV became unusable after software update. Can’t be rolled back. I’m just stuck with a perfectly fine screen and shit software. And yes even connecting another device via HDMI is an issue because the TV restarts randomly for “updates” while watching external sources.

Hrm, that's a pretty good argument for buying a tv and leaving the built in smart features without internet access. Sorry about your issues.

I'd there no way to factory reset it?

I can factory reset but not downgrade the firmware. The newer firmware is too demanding for the crappy chip in the TV.
