I think you are forced to login with a Google account on Android TV, I remember when setting up an emulator on Android Studio it wouldn't let me get past the setup without an account.

Ah, I see — it isn’t required on Sony’s variant of Android TV, but I guess it is on other variants?

Sony's pushing of random streaming services isn't much better, IMO.

Haven’t seen it; apparently with my TV logged out and not networked, it’s placid and boring. I set it to go straight to the HDMI inputs rather than the home screen which helped immensely.

Mine had the option to not use an account, which turns it into a dumb TV.
