Much cheaper to throw out that box and setup an RPi or whatever than buy a new TV, no? Seems like a better problem to have.

- chrisjc 6y agoMy point was that if you're buying a box to work around the problem of having a TV with ads, but now the box has ads too, things have gotten pretty bad. The problem with RPi solutions as far as I'm aware, is that the content services now have DRM that prevent content from running on RPi. Is that no longer the case? Can I use RPi to watch Netflix and YoutubeTV for instance?
- fuzxi 6y agoA cursory search tells me that it is possible to use a version of Chromium that's been modified to enable WideVine DRM support to watch DRM-protected content on an ARM device such as the RasPi.
- rmellow 6y agoAt least when I considered it a year ago, it was a huge hassle to get it working, so not really a solution for everyone.
