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.

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.

It was a bitch to get it to work right and when I was young I didn't have enough storage to really use it properly but "MythTV". A open source Linux based DVR system that basically told the companies to fuck themselves. It had built in commercial detection (that mostly worked) back in the early 2000's.

Yeah I took a look at MythTV a couple of times over the years but I was never really into 'all in one' solutions and it seemed too much work for an add on.

Like you say all you really need is a pc and wireless keyboard and it's never been easier.
