Looks like newer TVs only. My Sony X900F doesn't have this option. It's about 3-4 years old now? But I also never updated Android on it (still on Oreo) and I declined all agreements (like Samba).

I liked it, but hated how slow it was compared to my older dumb TV. Pressing a button and waiting for something to happen on the home screen was ridiculous.

After 2 years, I went nuclear and disabled as many apps and background services as I could. Lo and behold, I suddenly had a snappy TV with only the 3 streaming services I need on it.

This is what I continue to want. A TV that can do streaming without additional hardware, and without the insane level of tracking and ads that are so prevalent.
