   I am not familiar with current TVs designed without internet provided   
   services. A brief search returned some obscure Chinese brands, computer   
   displays and commercial displays.

   If reference is to the TVs own OS my experience with Sony is that although   
   updates stopped some years ago services didn’t. Netflix kept and keeps   
   working. For now.   
      
   OT: I don’t understand the difference between Release date and End date in   
   the termination of sw updates notice from Sony. The seven years between   
   them are puzzling.
