With virtually no content and limited benefits, 8K TVs were doomed.

    I want software on my TV.

    Steam Link specifically. I like streaming to my TV via Ethernet.

      You can do that with a Raspberry Pi for <$100 and without the need to have Amazon/Google/Roku/whoever tf else collecting your data.

        Really? Is there a name for finding guides to such wizardry?

        Who says I let Amazon/Google/Roku/whoeverTfElse collect my data?

        I have my TV isolated to its own network and allow inputs from LAN, so i can use Steam Link and Jellyfin just fine.

          Cool. Who owns the OS on the TV or the app store where you downloaded JF and SL?

      So get a device that can do that. You didn’t need a piece of software that will never see an update to do this.

        It’s funny that you think smart TVs don’t receive updates. It’s got a wifi chip for a reason.

            My TV isn’t going to update because it’s been lobotomized.
