This is reason enough to not buy a Samsung TV
This seems very deceptive to me. Additionally, if you paid full price for the TV, you should not have to keep giving them revenue unless you subscribe to something. And IMHO, Samsung builds crap products that don't last, with the possible exception of some of their smart phones, based on my personal experiences with their stuff.
There are tons of good TVs out there. I personally prefer a 'dumb' TV, basically a monitor. No reason to be fodder for Samsung's marketing dept without consent.
