I have a vizio television. It is very sore sometimes that I won't connect it to the internet, but then I just reset it and it forgets it was sore.

I won't let it update its firmware because I expect it won't let me use it without an internet connection if I do.

    "Won't let me use it w/o an internet connection" would be such an insane choice on the part of the manufacturer; I hope you're wrong!! But yeah, better to not update just to be safe.
