Smart TVs are all well and good, but when ad-focused update lobotomized my new-ish Android TV, we hit a problem.

I was only using Roku for a long time. It has ads but they're not particularly intrusive and I honestly don't notice them half the time. I recently got a new Amazon Fire TV for free through my jobs reward program and that thing is just a big ad delivery machine lol. The OS is so slow it's like it was almost an afterthought when someone realized they actually needed a way to show all these freaking ads... Its so slow and buggy it drives me nuts! I'm seriously considering just plugging a Roku box in the back and just using the TV like a monitor
