I bought a little antenna DVR box and it's absolutely delightful. it has the interface of a 2000s VCR, doesn't connect to the internet, doesn't have little ads and promo screens anywhere, has a simple plug and play DVR that records drm free mp4s to any USB device I plug in, and just stays on doing what it's doing, no shitty little we noticed you haven't hit a button in 2 hours! screen. i feel like I'm in a nursing home. it's beautiful

Probably a controversial thing to say but I think a TV could be pretty good by connecting to Internet and run a Internet browser ideally Firefox but no that would hurt the ad revenue on a product I payed full price for it's like buying a car and finding mc Donald's ad in the glove compartment and that's putting it quite lightly

Is it one of those devices that gives you like a little tv guide for the antenna channels and allows recording stuff from them? I've kinda thought about getting one of those, but then I remember I don't watch that much regular tv anymore. 😅
