History teaches us that HN readers are generally quite caring of these sort of intrusions into their previous "just right" setups and don't tend to just let it ride.
- judge2020 5y agoKeyword “HN Readers”, not users. I’d be surprised if even 1% of all Android TV users were HN Readers.
- cf100clunk 5y agoThat misconstrues my comment: I believe that HN readers (and users) care about topics like this over the long haul and don't tend to just let intrusions like Google's slide by without opprobrium. Thus, to me, the parent comment doesn't wash.
- axlee 5y ago> I’d be surprised if even 1% of all Android TV users were HN Readers. Remove some magnitudes, and then some more.
- ajsnigrutin 5y agoYep, 16 new libreelec installs will appear, and thousands of google tvs will be sold in the meantime.
- cf100clunk 5y agoThat is kind of a twist on the old "nobody ever got fired for using IBM" idea regarding marketplace saturation: "nobody ever complained about Google"?
- ajsnigrutin 5y agoI mean.. honestly, if I had to set up some "media device" for a relative, I'd pick google over anything else... usually it just works, it's simple, if something doesn't work, "it's googles fault", if something isn't supported, again, googles fault. ...basically same as with IBM. At home... libreelec. +importing ipvt playlists... +epg, which gets banned by the telco, and then reappears somewhere else. +subtitle services. +this and that plugin.
