Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second

So how do you all guys watch content on these “dumb TVs”?

If you connect e.g. android box, how is it any different than connecting the TV itself? Do you think producers of android boxes aren’t such pricks? This bugs my mind.

best way is a cheap mini pc you can put an open source OS on

then you totally control it. they can be found cheap and are usually upgradable

  But that is terrible to use. I can’t imagine my kids or wife to use this with TV…

    no, not true you can put whatever you want on it. ours boots into a nice tv like ui and they open stremio and thats it

OTA antennae for sports.

For streamling, I usually watch it on my laptop so that I can have easier options to skip and replay.

My desktop is connected via HDMI so I have that as an option but I rarely take advantage of it
