I just bought a Vizio E32-D1 Smart TV and was surprised that it seems you can't really do anything besides watching OTA channels without a Smartphone and the Smartcast app. You need the app even to control the TV settings, I have another Vizio Smart TV that's about 4 years old and everything can be done directly on the TV with the remote.
Are all the new Smart TVs like this, or just the Vizios? I was also considering a Samsung. Do the Samsungs also require a smartphone app?
