Do you have different brands of tvs or how do you get different channels. I’ve been thinking of getting a new tv or getting a ROKU for the old not smart one that is hardly used.
I have the Roku Ultra, uh, the cheaper one (they appeared to have identical specs and ports) which is a nice slim box, best remote in the industry (although the addition of those shortcut buttons was unwise imho), and use that on the older flatscreen (40” Phillips, 4 HDMI ports, times have changed). I’ve got a 50” Roku TV in the bedroom, and the interface on that is quite similar to the box, and quite acceptable.
The 55” Roku (I’m not sure of the brand) has a terrible interface, incomprehensible menu system, and I plan to give the thing away to someone I know if they agree to help me with some stuff around here. There’s nothing wrong with it, other than, who the you-know-where thought this software makes any sense at all.
Oh, and I need to stop buying TVs.
Pick up a cheap Mac mini of eBay or somewhere else, hook that to your TV and do it all. Browsers let you do much more than a proprietary App lets you do. I have a cheap 85 inch TV like $600.00 at Walmart and a Mac mini, like Imax at home. Make a small board to mount bluetooth Magic Keyboard and MagicPad control it all from Bed if you want.
