    You know what’s even better for cutting down ads on a fucking android TV? Never owning one

      I’m terribly sorry for wanting functionality from my television other than playing a DVD or watching terrestrial TV.

      I swear some people on lemmy need to chill. Not everyone lives in an off grid cabin in the woods, with no passport, not connected to the internet BUT running a local network, with a server containing all their DVDrips.

      Nah, a Chromecast with Google TV is a super cheap and reliable way to sail the high seas. Stremio, VPN, some kind of debrid service. Works better than any legal streaming service my friend told me. Not that I would ever try to hurt the poor studios.

          On the Chromecast, one of the other reasons I got one. There’s some localised content I get to access like that.

          I considered a VPN on the router but a) the router provided by our ISP doesn’t support that, so it would be another investment and b) I didn’t want to introduce a potential point of headache for when I’m not around. I.e. my non tech savvy partner having trouble with the VPN.
