With virtually no content and limited benefits, 8K TVs were doomed.

    You can do that with a Raspberry Pi for <$100 and without the need to have Amazon/Google/Roku/whoever tf else collecting your data.

      Really? Is there a name for finding guides to such wizardry?

      Who says I let Amazon/Google/Roku/whoeverTfElse collect my data?

      I have my TV isolated to its own network and allow inputs from LAN, so i can use Steam Link and Jellyfin just fine.

        Cool. Who owns the OS on the TV or the app store where you downloaded JF and SL?

          I didnt download Jellyfin or steamlink through an app store. I loaded the .apk onto a USB, plugged it in, and sideloaded it lol.

          Any other 'gotcha’s?

            Sounds like an unnecessary amount of extra work to avoid being spied on by the spyware TV that you bought. You do you, though bud.

              an unnecessary amount of extra work

              As opposed to buying, flashing, then installing a raspberry pi? Lol

                Honestly? It’s not that far off, with a much better pay off. But like I said, you do you. You wanna die on the smartTV hill for whatever reason, go for it lmao
