I do? I don't love Android TV but I only have so much time to fight to the good fight with shit.

I would like a less smart tv but I don't want to by a 7 year old Nvidia Shield and suffered paralysis by analysis trying to decide on on an Android TV box.

So here we are, I use jellyfin on a smart TV

And how much better would a TV box even be compared to a smart TV?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not much if there isnt even much HDMI-CEC support.

It pisses me off that the reason most tech get filled with ads and shit is because people want to use it but are not bothered to learn anything about it. Like input selection, they need to press one button and everything has to be setting itself up without interaction or they will complain it's too hard.

Then the ad company makes shit to make it seem easy but fills it up with spyware and ads. Lazy People adopt the easy way and endure the shit that comes with it while bending for more.

If "pressing one button" was all...That would be great.

Out of curiosity why are you reluctant to buy a Shield?

I was on the fence for a while but I've been extremely happy with it and have only run into minimal issues (and significantly less than with my smart tv before).

I have a shield. Without setting up a custom launcher it is an ad ridden privacy nightmare (by default). Even though I spent a comparatively large amount of money for old hardware, I still get bloat.

But I don't know any better option that is easy to use and has a simple android box like remote so. :/
