On my five year old TCL Roku TV the other day I decided to plug back in an over the air antenna. I clicked on the live tv shortcut and no channel scan or grid schedule showed up, just row after row of links to free streaming "broadcasters". I had to go to system settings and check a box not to show those and finally I could select an over the air channel. A dark pattern indeed.
This is basically were I work and probably 80% of small and medium enterprises. We bought a lot of licenses once and maintenance license cost is minimal so far.
