Roku provides the simplest way to stream entertainment to your TV. On your terms. With thousands of available channels to choose from.
Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information.
Clarification: after a bit of research it seems the olfactory section pertains to CCPA California law, many places have olfactory in the privacy policy because it is required by the law. I can’t believe we reached a point where we have to put olfactory in the privacy policy, but then again it won’t be long before Smell-O-Vision becomes reality.
It’s a lot easier and cheaper to replace a small device (Roku, Apple TV, Nvidia Shield, Chromecast, Fire Stick, XBMC box, computer, etc) than it is your entire TV. Once you connect and update your TV, I don’t think you can choose to downgrade it later…
Sure, but what os u run?
The only open source one for home media is Kodi.
I’ve ran it for a while. But it’s a pita.
My most people that also have jobs don’t do that.

I don’t connect my Roku TV to the internet, and always use external devi e via HDMI.
Ok. Which device u connect?
Another device that collects the same shit probably 😂😥
not confirmed but i have no doubt gaming consoles do this too
There’s a reason why they’re so cheap compared to the hardware contained within them.
That’s just because they sell them at a loss, and the games at a massive profit. This is widely known.

I don’t get the logic or what your point is.
I mean the list is pretty small. Unless they install Kodi - everything else is compromised.
My Roku media player, obviously…
Laptop, or a mini PC

I run Arch on both my PC and Laptop. I self host a few containers to stream media from. Either use web front end, or native apps.
I both have a job, and maintain all of this. For fun.
Ya I wanted so bad to like Kodi but no matter what I do it crashes at least a few times daily. Constant audio sync problems and lockups as well.
