Well what do you use to watch TV?
An old hand-me-down 1080p TV and my laptop
And what do you use on your laptop to watch things?
Generally mpv
Do you think that setup would be preferable for the average person
It's not like an average person would be unable to use their laptop and some media player, regardless of which OS they use; the fact that I use a weird-ass player doesn't mean it's the only option available on a laptop. It just seems pointless to get another gadget to do the same thing you can do on a gadget you own (assuming you have a laptop, of course.)
It's also a lot mews convinient then just turning s single device on with a remote then using thst remote to choose what you want to watch
