@TychoTithonus All TVs work without internet access, though they lose all smart TV features, including the ability to access streaming services. In essence, they become monitors that can accept cable TV/satellite signals and over the air reception provided you have an antenna.

@JoeWaczewski Probably LG C2 series set. Streaming is somewhat personal, I like Roku because they don't prioritize their own content the way Amazon does. The new Apple TV is nice, the updated remote make it a much better player. I haven't tested the newest one yet.
