I don't connect my Roku TV to the internet, and always use external devi e via HDMI.
Ok. Which device u connect?
Another device that collects the same shit probably 😂😥
It's a lot easier and cheaper to replace a small device (Roku, Apple TV, Nvidia Shield, Chromecast, Fire Stick, XBMC box, computer, etc) than it is your entire TV. Once you connect and update your TV, I don't think you can choose to downgrade it later...
I don't get the logic or what your point is.
not confirmed but i have no doubt gaming consoles do this too
There's a reason why they're so cheap compared to the hardware contained within them.
That's just because they sell them at a loss, and the games at a massive profit. This is widely known.
I mean the list is pretty small. Unless they install Kodi - everything else is compromised.
Laptop, or a mini PC
Sure, but what os u run? The only open source one for home media is Kodi.
I've ran it for a while. But it's a pita.
My most people that also have jobs don't do that.
Ya I wanted so bad to like Kodi but no matter what I do it crashes at least a few times daily. Constant audio sync problems and lockups as well.
I run Arch on both my PC and Laptop. I self host a few containers to stream media from. Either use web front end, or native apps.
I both have a job, and maintain all of this. For fun.
My Roku media player, obviously...
