They'll have to pay for the cellular connection themselves because I'm not gonna enter my wifi password into the tv lol. Been using a pc hooked up to the screen for ages. Screw "smart tv" features, slow and inconvenient as hell.
The inconvenience creared by their greed. You buy a tv, a PC, internet and a netflix sub but you cant watch full (shite) resolution unless you are in a native app.
Piracy is the way forward.
I have an lg tv that has never seen the internet. It runs on a shield with kodi. With that being said, fuck shield and their ads
Shield has ads built in!? Out of the cart it goes.
Yeah that part blows ass. My solution for now is an appletv. They at least don't shove ads down your throat and their main business models are not based on collecting user data for advertising or databroker purposes (looking at you, google).
