People who connect TVs to the Internet only invite malware. They usually don't receive big fixes after a few years and tend to spy on all watched content.

Then watch on a plug-in Android TV box. Or take to the high seas.

I’m just saying, if you're going to stream from an internet service anyway, video/audio on every HTPC streaming app I’ve tried looks bad. Netflix is the best, and it’s still heavily compromised. And (at least on my Sony), the local Android apps tend to have the best system integration for rescaling, HDR, setting the correct refresh rate, per app IQ settings and so on.

But that obviously doesn’t apply if you’re hosting it locally though Kodi, Jellyfin, Plex or whatever.
