    I can’t afford a super nice TV. I have a Hisense U6 which I probably spent $500-700 at the time. It’s a few years old. But the fact that they know we don’t want their garbage so the make the TV worse if I don’t connect it to their services pisses me off. That’s the FireTV version.

    I have a smaller Google TV version of the same panel on my bedroom and it doesn’t do that. Plus it has more features. I am degoogled tho so I don’t have it connected to an account tho.

    I do have the living room TV connected to an Apple TV set top box. As for streaming devices that work out of the box, I actually really like the Apple TV. The only thing better than this would be doing what you said.

    I’ve been trying to self host with Jellyfin, but getting my NAS set up has been a hassle. I’ve probably spent 200 hours trying to get it to work but no luck yet. (Fuck you QNAP/QTS and your proprietary software)
