I want this, but for the roku box I got as a gift.
I want to make my TCL Roku Smart TV dumb.
Fortunately Roku is still not that bad. 3 rows of items to choose from, select and go.
It basically is a dump app launcher if you go into settings and make it one. Even more so once you use a network adblock to stop the single ad they display on the right.
