I grabbed a used Samsung dumb tv off fb market place but I haven't decided how im going to configure a streaming device to it. All the streaming sticks do the same thing. Building my own sounds like a pain.
I have a little server but I want a remote and a basically have to make my own box to be able to cut out these 3rd party spies.
