[QUOTE="Ink, post: 830597, member: 3"] You may look at disabling the TV's built-in WiFi capabilities, but you won't get any firmware updates (obviously). Not to worry, use a dongle instead. If you use Amazon's Fire TV Stick or Google's Chromecast you can get online functionality and the occasional updates. [SIZE=3]EDIT: I recently switched over from the TV's WiFi to Fire TV Stick (Basic Edition) which is linked to an Amazon Prime account and downloaded the YouTube app. On your phone you can enable 'Watch on TV' option and it'll work similar to Cast. In actual fact, it works smoother than the TV's own apps.[/SIZE] About Fire OS: [URL="https://developer.amazon.com/fire-tv"]Amazon Fire TV | Amazon Developer Portal[/URL] Fire TV (UK) versions: [URL="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201497590"]Amazon.co.uk Help: Fire TV Device Software Updates[/URL] Some Toshiba TVs come with Fire TV integration, but these TVs are not great - as stated in source below.
