The tv thing is not your fault. They sell you shitty products so you'll have to throw them out soon.

The best thing is probably a dumb tv and a seperate device for android stuff that can easily be replaced if it starts acting up.

Oh and smart phones are a great way to waste time and spend less time with your family and friends. So you're probably better off without one. More time to read, watch movies, or enjoy your hobbies.

You're right about that, they plan for the product to break within a few months. That I'm sure of.

Finally my TV somehow downloaded whatever update it was trying so hard and struggling with. And now it's installed, it's much less easy to use than ever. Slower than molasses going uphill. I click on a channel and 13 minutes later it MIGHT come up.

SIGH. Well I my smart phone was actually a dumb phone from the very start. I don't like talking on the phone, so I rarely used it, and it was too underpowered to really use for gaming or for texting. Two texts and it started acting overloaded and it broke down.

SO, yes, I have rediscovered my love of reading (but I do have a kindle, which works about 50 percent of the time).
