I have a 40" hooked up to my PC that I sometimes use to watch stuff I'm stream from my PC. I never use it as an actual TV. I wanted to see if I could download the Rumble app on it. When I hit the home button I received a message stating the OS would no longer be supported and I could explore these options for a new TV. I think this is wild that a display that works fine should be replaced because the software is toast.

They want you to buy a new upgraded surveillance device. The one you currently have does not contain enough cameras, microphones and motion tracking hardware. Won't you think of the jews and their surveillance state?

Damn, I should really be more considerate.

Silly kikes needing cameras on a tv to monitor you…

lol, right?

Glad I don't rely on the software, but it's crazy for people that did. The display still works fine.

*I suppose if I did, I'd probably buy a roku instead of a new TV.

Roku now advertises in app when you watch live content. It makes your content smaller, muted it then plays the ad. You miss everything from your live content when this happens.

I refuse to use them.

DNS blocks are a thing. I’ll find my list and post it.

So in addition to the ads on the live content you get more ads from Roku? That's messed up. I heard something about home screen ads, but I also heard there is a "secret menu" that can be accessed to remove them.

This is why I don't connect TVs to the Internet and I have a Linux PC attached for streaming. I don't need the dumb apps, just a wireless keyboard.

Did you mean 'streaming' as in streaming services/sites? If so, are there any worthwhile free streaming services/sites you could recommend?

Ehh, they are basically all garbage but if I want to watch something on Rumble or jewTube I don't need a app for it. All of my blockers, ad-skippers, etc.. all work since its in a browser and not in a jewed to fuck app.

If any company (all of them will eventually) goes app-only I will never use it again or if I do, I will use some workaround that strips the content without all of their tracking, metrics, advertising, etc....

I agree. PC entertainment system has been the way to go for me for nearly 25 years for the reasons you mentioned, can't see that changing. Back in the day my ISP came with cable tv too, but that was mostly crap.

I too would like to know. This whole discussion made me realize I finally have an income where I can just build a PC and stream from that instead of the surveillance devices like chromecast or fire sticks

Yeah just build a multimedia/gaming pc and you can do it all. Plug in a large screen (smart tv) via hdmi as the monitor, a wireless keyboard and you're good to go. Best thing is it's all modular so you can modify software/hardware as needed. Sourcing content is ever changing but overall the options are better than ever.

And they say TVs aren't smart.
