I use roku, but I don’t have to. My TV is LG smart TV, so I might just try to move to that. Any suggestions?

I think I just need to unplug the thing, but roku seems like it is gearing up to be extremely shitty company.

Consider leaving the TV disconnected from the internet and using it as a dumb TV connected to a good third-party device like an Nvidia Shield (those are a still probably the best mass market player devices despite being a few years old. Nothing official, but there is a good chance a refresh could be coming soon).

I might just build a kodi box.

I’m thinkin of buying a nvidia shield but the price tag is intimidating for what it is.
Is it like, you can load wacky third party shit?

Just to echo, LG’s smart tv is an ad platform just like the rest of them, and it’s gross.
