Do you own a 'smart' TV?

Just bought a new LG one… I do not understand all it does and probably not even use most features. I just needed to watch TV… Too many things hook to the internet I wish didnt.

We can’t do without our public broadcasting services as recent developments and, above all, the alternative programmes offered by private channels show which are far from being convincing and are not just “thirteen channels of sh_ _ on the T.V. to choose from” , as Pink Floyd once put it, but many more.

We have the ABC funded by the taxpayer but no TV Licence, I thought the UK was the only country with a licence.

As for content I think Frank Zappa said it best

I'm The Slime

I am the slime oozin’ out

The UK is by far not the only country with a TV licence nor is Germany.
Denmark, France, Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Malta, Austria, Poland, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic plus the non-European countries Israel, Japan, and South Korea also have one.
