    That just moves the problem to a different company. None of which is any better in the long run.

      Cheaper to replace. And in case of Android TV also more open.

          Depends what you are consuming. Your local library? Sure (if you have a nice way for remote control). If you want Netflix, Prime, etc, then missing DRM is an issue (between missing and super hacky).

      So then don’t connect the TV to anything I guess. Except a PC running jellyfin or Kodi.
