Reminder that Cable and Broadcast TV are the same quality now, so if you (or your parents) watch TV, you can set up a box that just connects to the HDMI port and captures everything. It even gets metadata so you can see what channel the best stuff is on, like PBS kids. Total cost is around 100-200$ and after that it’s free.

My parents watch videos from Wechat lol (🤔)
And sometimes Youtube too, but since google is not getting so aggressive and Newpipe breaks all the time, and I’m not about to get blamed if they can’t watch their Chinese drama shows on Youtube. (I don’t want to become “free tech support” lol)
Personally, all my Movies/TV are all through piratebay over VPN, and use VLC.
Youtube is just Firefox/Fennec + uBlock Origin (and VPN for privacy)
Nobody watches “TV” anymore, why do that when I can use a computer/laptop and watch whatever I want in any room in the house that I choose to be in, or use my phone and watch on the go. The TV in my house is like 15 years old, it’s just in the living room collecting dust. I probably would never get a “TV” in my life time.
