Comment on Anon buys a TV without researching
MeatsOfRage@lemmynsfw.com 2 days agoYea I always hear people say just hook up a PC or Pi but I don’t want a keyboard and mouse in my livingroom. The value of these Apple TV / Roku / Google TV setups is you have a little remote and a UI that is designed around it with big visual elements you can see across the room. I’m surprised there seems to be so little movement on something like this.
I guess one issue is apps. The likes of Netflix wouldn’t support it.

“I don’t want to use a keyboard,” was what my wife said at first too. Then she realized that saving hundred of dollars and never seeing another advertisement was worth it.

I used to have the PC setup. Ended up going for an Apple TV 4k about 7 years ago. Yea it was $200 but it was a one time purchase and there’s no ads. Just serve up everything though Plex and Infuse

Apple TV still has a ton of privacy concerns and most people who are against having to use a keyboard probably aren’t going to be setting up a Plex server.
