I just spent an hour trying to figure out why my smart tv is not routing audio to my external speakers, why there's an audio lag on ALL videos and apps, why the fire cube tv is non-responsive, when all I had to do was unplug and plug the TV back in.
Modern TVs are great, but please just make this a more polished product FFS
KDE-bigscreen shall be our savoiur
Sounds like the GoogleTV UI. Roku is better with not pushing your apps around.
I love my Shield. Except that the remote is a ridiculous shape, it is a fantastic way to stream to a TV.
Here's a handy guide for anyone deciding how get content on their TV:
Gaming Console > Nvidia Shield > Streaming device (roku) > Cable/Satellite TV > TV Antenna > Smart TV Software
I like your guide, but I'd add a step or two:
Gaming Console > Nvidia Shield > Streaming device (roku) > Cable/Satellite TV > TV Antenna > forget it, go outside and take a walk instead > punch yourself in the face instead > Smart TV Software
Roku devises are the same steaming pile of advertisements. Just because it's a different flavor doesn't mean it's not there. They even advertise in their afk screen. Really that list needs to remove cable because it's also paying to get advertisements and it should include a pc at the front.
I love my pihole...
I never experience any of this..
I have a smart TV.
It's hooked up to my computer, remote operated with the Unified Remote app.
The webOS on my LG isn’t bad per se, but it’s worse than using the Apple TV hooked up to it. I’ve personally found that a box of some sort plugged into the TV well slays offer a better experience.
I just occasionally plug my TV into Ethernet overnight to slow it to pull updates. No WiFi.
Buy a sceptre 4K screen .. no smart features at all. Hook up whatever device you want, computer, Roku, Apple TV, pi running Kodi ..
Mmmm, I love that my tv's remote constantly listens to my conversations and sends recordings back to the maker all under the guise of "improving voice control".
