Smart TV?

Who in the he!! came up with the smart tv?? A friend has a Roku Smart tv , watches tv for a bit then turns it off. Next day turns it on & has to go thru a bunch of BS to watch same programming. My awesome Panasonic is NOT a smart tv, turn it on in morning to SAME channel it was on previous.

Sounds like Smart TVs are trying a bit too hard to be smart
Honestly, you're not alone — many people miss the simplicity of older TVs where you just hit the power button and boom, you're watching something.
With Roku and most Smart TVs, it helps to disable the auto-launch of streaming apps and change the "Home screen default" (if the option exists) to return to the last input or app used. Also, make sure it's not set to go back to the home screen on reboot.


Your Panasonic might not be "smart", but it's definitely wise.
