minus-squareCancerMancer@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·18 hours agoDon’t give your TV wifi access, use a separate device to watch stuff (Chromecast, FireTV, Android box, etc…)
minus-squarejacksilver@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·17 hours agoYeah, that was my approach, but the forced ads are also on the roku stick :(
minus-squareCrashumbc@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·14 hours agoYeah about time for me to switch to something else :/
minus-squaretehn00bi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·15 hours agoIs there anything that’s a better alternative?
minus-squaresurph_ninja@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·18 hours agoWish it had more apps, but Apple TV is pretty solid. With the Steam link app, it’s also good for couch gaming on your pc.
