Roku sucks so...OK? Is this just consolidation?

I'm just over here wishing NVidia would relaunch the Shield. FFS even a *Shield TV" would be worth something

Well, they certainly now have a new market to justify a relaunch. If they are reading this news they HAVE to know the market has opened up for them.

I have been a die hard Roku user (stb only, never full tvs though!!!) since they were first released. I'm not throwing them all out tomorrow, but I will be watching VERY closely and won't hesitate to convert all 3 in the house to something else. Another reason why I never bought roku tvs, I like my tv dumb for just this reason.

Unfortunately, NVIDIA is making an obscene amount of money from the AI boom. The market for the shield is just a drop of water in the ocean to them

Yeah that's fair. no point i guess for now. ROI is too low. Then again, never hurts to hedge a bet on the AI bubble. [sigh]

Zidoo or Ugoos

It's a dumb complaint but the UI is dated and the DV support matrix is always a can of worms.
