The problem I have is....it just works. I'm tired of having to manage 50 different devices to let my son watch some Gabbys Dollhouse on the TV. Our LG CX is now 6 years old and it just works. I only need one remote for all the apps and sound, and I don't need to worry about another device. I've tried both Apple TV and Amazon Fire Stick, and both were (subjectively) worse experiences than just using the apps built into the TV. So.....in the interest of making my life feel less like an IT admin of my own house....I think I'll just use the built in apps and keep my TV connected to the internet.

- gambiting 3mo agoIt's called a hyperbole. But I already have to babysit a NAS and a media server, and make sure the Playstation and Xbox are up to date and signed in, the last thing I want is another device just to watch netflix on. >>True with Roku Can the Roku remote change the input source on the TV?
- BeetleB 3mo ago> But I already have to babysit a NAS and a media server Is the NAS TV related? Why do you need these? My media is all on my PC, and I don't consider maintaining that as part of my TV burden. I have to maintain it anyway. And what maintenance do you need for the PS and XBox? You just turn it on when you use it, and let it auto-update. > Can the Roku remote change the input source on the TV? Fair point. Normally, I change the source only once during a whole session, so I do that right in the beginning if I need to.
