Life is so much better after I gave up on these atrocious media boxes and TV operating systems and just use a small computer connected to the TV.
I control the interface, I control the connection, it works perfectly. Steam Link for games, Jellyfin for media - always working, never showing ads, never bothering me with accounts or updates.
Do you use your phone as a remote for it, or how do you navigate its interface?
I have a little cheapo Chinese Bluetooth keyboard thingy. It's very small, with a keyboard and trackpad. I also use my Xbox controller, which works great with Steam's UI.
Thanks! I always wonder how people handle navigation with setups like you described.
Here's what I use but for the love of God do not pay 21 USD for this thing. Not sure why prices are bizarre in the US, but here in Brazil I paid what would convert to around 8 USD for it.
