      No, this is different. They’re not saying “we’re allowed to,” they’re saying “we didn’t do it”:

      In no circumstance did the test affect the standard functionality of the device nor did it limit access to its main features. The users could and can continue to normally use all HDMI inputs, external devices, consoles, subscription streaming apps, or standard broadcasts without any type of interruption or obligation to watch advertisements.

      Which is totally believable. /s
