That's an app update.

I meant the OS in the firmware. Several major manufacturers of smart TVs don't keep their products OS anywhere near up-to-date.

Or the update is like doing a system reset - my brother-in-law's TV has an OS update due, but it would wipe all recorded programs to do so. Not really an option with 3-year old twins and most recorded shows are kids programs.

I'll agree

I can't remember ever having the TVs display a message saying that the OS wants to update itself. Then again. there should be very little cause for it to need to.
