    Of course I did, it is actually quite short and concise, and it agrees with me that you’re incorrect. Luckily, we can clear up your confusion because the EULA is quite clear and leaves no room for opinion. Please quote the EULA where it states that internet is required to use the device.

    https://docs.roku.com/published/deviceplayereula

    This EULA applies to Roku smart TVs and the firmware/software that is preinstalled. Other Roku software services that can be accessed using a Roku TV have additional EULAs, but because I am not using any of those software services, I am not subject to those EULAs.

      The 2020 EULA states:

      Copying or redistribution of certain content is strictly prohibited, and digital rights management or other technologies may be used to prevent or restrict any copying or re-distributing of any content, which you agree not to try to circumvent or avoid. Certain content is only available in those countries where the device has been authorised to be sold. If you attempt to access content outside of these countries, the rights granted under these terms will not apply. Some content providers may use technologies to determine or verify your location, and you may not be able to use your Roku product to access content outside of its designated country. You are responsible for complying with any import and/or export laws that apply to your use of your Roku products.

      About two years ago they used the digital rights management or other technologies to force users to consent to new dispute resolution terms in order to access their device which wouldn’t be possible without internet access.

      Roku disables TVs and streaming devices until users consent to new terms

        Well you certainly tried! Swing and a miss. In no way does that mandate internet connection to use the device, and no court would agree with your misinterpretation. In fact, your own link is not even related to the DRM clause that you quoted, and is instead related to their updated arbitration agreement, which has nothing to do with internet access.

        I am compliant with all DRM features on my TV. 👍
