Other people with the same exact TV have this option so I really want the latest firmware. So I have to believe they disabled it? No chance. I should be able to see the option to disable Vizio’s ability to read my data but my firmware was never updated to offer the option.

This entire platform is a real joke with how the yahoo store apps were just abandoned. It’s networked and I have a yahoo ID and I am signed in to my store account. The site says it is an automated process but I know my firmware has never been updated ever. Was there a time Vizio allowed us to download firmware? Because currently they do not have an option for it. You can now open SmartCast TV and see any new apps or features released with the update. Allow the TV to update itself without interference, and your TV will reboot and load the latest firmware. You should see an on-screen progress indicator showing how far along the update process is.

These models also update their firmware periodically, but you can do this manually if you want to. Vizio TVs equipped with SmartCast make much shorter work of updates. These newer models do not require you to update your apps manually they update themselves automatically when you aren’t using your TV. With Chromecast, you can use an app on your phone to cast content directly to your TV. Subsequent generations of Vizio TVs use SmartCast TV, which is a version of Chromecast.
