    Yeah no. 20 bucks for a pi zero and libreelec. No ads, you can play retro games on it and did I mention, NO ADS!

    The Verge is nothing but an advertiser for big tech. the TV Streamer would be fine if they hadn’t killed their entire line of Chromecast at the same time

    $100 and it doesn’t even include the HDMI cable?

    Now that every TV is a smart TV who’s the target audience?

      I buy devices like Apple TV to replace the built in shitty smart tv functionality on smart tvs. I do not want ads so I do not connect my tv to the internet, and instead connect my streaming box.

        Yes but this offers the exact same functionality and built-in ads/tracking that you will find in any androidtv based smarttv.

        They even list having ads (recommended shows on a service that you aren’t subscribed are ads, not recommendations) that cover 80% of the home screen as a feature
