Which Linux distro is running in Thomson TVs. What are the capabilties.
“Honey! Our TV isn’t showing up channels!”
“Gee, fine. Hold on.”
ssh gnu.linux@1.2.3.69 cd /sys/devices/tv/channels cat channels_list [none]Ah, *beep.
“Honey the remote stopped working”
God damn it the last update installed libir 2.1.5 which pymote 4.7.0 isn’t yet compatible with.
babe hold on i need to flash nix-os on this thing*
*and figure out how the fuck to use nix-os
i just want a dumb tv with the latest panel tech and no planned obsolescence. I have so many computers that can provide “smarts” already
Unless you have the ability to root it, does it matter? It’s likely a completely custom, stripped down distro anyway.
Just want to stay away from Android TV crapps and ads. ( Also, dont need root as of now - Based on forum posts, root access is not allowed )
IMO LG TVs with WebOS are the best user experience right now.
But you don’t have smarttubenext
This is true and something to consider. There’s also no app for Crunchyroll which is personally a huge downside.
It’s still the best user experience and I seriously dread having to use other people’s TVs now. Even major players like Samsung are seriously lacking in comparison.
I rooted mine before the patch, and the homebrew store has an ad-free sponsor blocking yt app

I basically don’t use TV. I have a simple, old wide screen 16:9 monitor that was gifted to me. Good enough.
