Idk... to display stream video? I know I know it sounds crazy.... Who would want to see tv through internet. Watch shows from providers or even their own video field from their own hosted server, that would be crazy.
Dumb tv + streaming box. When the streaming box gets ads and gets shitty you replace that instead of the WHOLE ASS TV.
You get it.
I'm gonna stream from a device designed for it.
I totally agree.
Even watching via Xbox connected to the TV is a better option than that.
I have an Xbox, a fetch tv box and a Chromecast.
Combined with a PLEX server it's all I could need.
Disconnecting my great Samsung display from the network and using it as a display/audio output device only and never seeing another ad was a really good decision.
Yeah good point... if only there were better support for the alternatives to Plex, like Emby/Jellyfin. Well I think there is an Emby app on the Xbox case....but is bad I think.
Yeah, I don't get how people don't get this. Like I agree that the ads are annoying and the slowing down is fucked. But the concept behind it is fairly simply. I no longer need to turn on my Playstation to watch Netflix. Other people don't have to buy a device for that specifically. Just buy the TV and you're done. It's pretty fucking great.
But of course capitalism has to ruin that as well.
