It saddens me, as I liked Roku for being the least ad-ridden option of the bunch. The apps don’t advertise to me as I hover over them, and a DNS change renders the single poster-style advert on the screen inert.
I’ve got a couple Roku devices that realistically I’ll continue to use unless I manage to find a hospitality TV or something to replace my TCL with. I’d just use my PS5 if it weren’t for the fact Sony won’t approve Jellyfin’s app
You should replace the TCL with a Google TV model. They have a basic TV mode which doesn’t require Wi-Fi and lets you just use HDMI and antenna inputs.
I’d be trading one smart mess for another, and paying more money to do it. My TV is from 2018, and when it’s hit 10 years old maybe I’ll think about it. But right now, there’s no reason for me to rush out and find something else when I know the Roku can’t phone home and Jellyfin works like I want it to. Besides, whether an account is required or not, I wouldn’t trust Google any more than Roku/Fox. I don’t know what I’ll buy next, but I’m not prepared to think about it right now.
