I bought an amazon fire tv cause it was fairly cheap for 4k and its never been hooked up to the internet.

minus-squareSmoothLiquidation@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 months agoIt is a problem, my shield tv started having ads on the home page, but I was able to install a new launcher on it to fix that. Overall having a media player plugged in to a disconnected tv is the way to go. It is easier to replace a chromecast than the whole tv.
