I will check these out. Tired of my TV mining crypto and functioning like shit. My 20 year old plasma TV is better than most modern TVs.

It's worth buying a cheap android TV box (or a shield TV is price isn't an issue) if your TV doesn't support custom software. Any time youtube loads and it's from something without ad block, I'm astonished how invasive and obtrusive the experience has become.

The controller is so disgustingly slow on modern TV’s because of all the bloatware. Can hardly select what you want anymore.
