I refuse to connect this TV to the internet because if it does get connected it will force an update that says unless you agree with forced arbitration your TV will be unusable. I just want to change the HDMI slot 2 spaces over 🤦. Gargle my nutsack Roku.

    I have 2 TCL Roku TVs. I don’t use Roku for either of them, I got them because they were good and cheap. I have them set to switch to HDMI at boot & use android tv boxes. I set that up with a temporary said, then deleted the ssid after.

    It really sucks that we have to do things like that to use things we paid for.

      Do you have lineageos or similiar on the android boxes, or just stock? How do you modify the boxes for privacy, and what brand do you use?

        It’s stock Android TV on Nvidia Shield boxes. I’m doing firewall & DNS filtering and I’m only using Plex, Jellyfin and Wireguard. Ideally, I’d like to use a nuc style PC that has a minimal Linux and starts straight into the Jellyfin client.
