Chromecast 2. Very cheap and no hassle. Just stream from your phone or computer. Virtually every video streaming app I have ever seen is compatible. There’s a remote app you can use on your phone if you want one of those too.

This is so annoying. It goes into a full screen ad as soon as you turn it on, so I babysit the remote and navigate to an app as soon as it turns on, in order to avoid ads. It also does this if you let the TV idle, which I also hate. I might just throw it away and go back to hooking up a laptop to the TV instead. I paid $70-ish bucks for this stupid thing.

Isn’t there some consumer protection law against this, I mean this is really invasive and not doing what you expected it to do when you bought it.

We stopped getting consumer protection laws in the 50s when they were deemed communism.

Anything less than allowing every corporation to plunge their tentacles into the inner depths of your anus is 100% communism.
