why is anyone surprised considering they already replaced it with the superior google tv with chromecast like years ago
Sure, my tv has built in apps for all that shit, but they’re slow as frozen molasses. It would take me minutes to scroll to the bottom of my YouTube subscriptions, and there were only 90 of them.
My in-laws internal player (on a brand new tbv) kept having codec errors (digital static) in hd broadcasts, so we bought them one too.
At 99$ the Google TV streamer better not have ads on the launcher
They didn’t really kill it off. They just updated it and changed the name.
I really hate this fucking trend of them putting dedicated Netflix and Hulu buttons on remote controls. I refuse to buy anything with this “Feature”. You absolutely cannot avoid advertising on every…single…fucking…thing.
I remapped my Netflix button to Plex and YouTube to SmartTube. I suppose I could sand off and repaint them.
Have you found a generic remote, I hve been looking but the only one I found was the one Logitech discontinued
I use a jailbroken FireTV HD; and I have to keep buying used remotes off of Ebay (the 2nd gen remotes). I don’t have a chromecast modern enough to have come with a remote.
it’s both hilarious and sad that you have to jailbreak your remote to get it to not have ads
