    “Honey! Our TV isn’t showing up channels!”

    “Gee, fine. Hold on.”

    ssh gnu.linux@1.2.3.69
    cd /sys/devices/tv/channels
    cat channels_list
    [none]
    

    Ah, *beep.

      “Honey the remote stopped working”

      God damn it the last update installed libir 2.1.5 which pymote 4.7.0 isn’t yet compatible with.

    Unless you have the ability to root it, does it matter? It’s likely a completely custom, stripped down distro anyway.

            This is true and something to consider. There’s also no app for Crunchyroll which is personally a huge downside.

            It’s still the best user experience and I seriously dread having to use other people’s TVs now. Even major players like Samsung are seriously lacking in comparison.

    I basically don’t use TV. I have a simple, old wide screen 16:9 monitor that was gifted to me. Good enough.
