I think I saw a review of the Amazon fire TV and they literally lock controls and tell you some basic af features are locked behind an Amazon account registration or login

I have an Amazon fire TV.

It is not connected to anything, and everything works fine. I just hooked up my shield to it and use that, but basic tv functions (settings and whatnot) work just fine without being logged in.

Everything should work without being logged in. Being logged into your TV shouldn't even be a thing.

That's fair, just pointing out in my case that I don't/didn't need to login to anything and have full functionality of my TV.

The only logins I would need to do would be for streaming service apps, IF I was actually using the TV OS to watch stuff. Otherwise everything works fine.
