I like my Chromecast setup. I remapped the Netflix button to Plex, so I push that button on the remote and the TV turns on and goes straight to plex. The Google TV UI is “meh” at best, and also full of ads, so I avoid it.

Roku just keeps getting worse and worse. It is highly inadvisable to connect a smart TV to the internet, a separate streaming box is the way to go. If Apple TV/Chromecast/whatever completely goes to shit, one can simply get something else.

My pihole blocks Roku ads quite handily.

Is this on a hardware level? Or can I just plug it in a nvidia shield or such and just use it as a screen

Feels nice to get some trade-in cash for my Roku tv. Digital TV with the local channels and YouTube more than satisfies.
