I mean, yes and no. I like e-arc, and I like being able to adjust settings other than v-hold. But I don't want this slow crud fest that keeps telling me when my neighbour turns on Bluetooth on their iphone.

Yeah, all my inputs go to the tv, then i run a wire to the receiver. This makes it so my ps5 and PC are plugged directly to the tv so i can get different resolutions are variable refresh rate and the tv can control the receiver. So when I turn something on, the tv/receiver turn on and set themselves to matching settings, Dolby, stereo, whatever. Its not huge but its a nice convinienice over the older optical connection.

I want software on my TV.

Steam Link specifically. I like streaming to my TV via Ethernet.

You can do that with a Raspberry Pi for <$100 and without the need to have Amazon/Google/Roku/whoever tf else collecting your data.

Really? Is there a name for finding guides to such wizardry?

Who says I let Amazon/Google/Roku/whoeverTfElse collect my data?

I have my TV isolated to its own network and allow inputs from LAN, so i can use Steam Link and Jellyfin just fine.

Cool. Who owns the OS on the TV or the app store where you downloaded JF and SL?

I didnt download Jellyfin or steamlink through an app store. I loaded the .apk onto a USB, plugged it in, and sideloaded it lol.

Any other 'gotcha's?

Sounds like an unnecessary amount of extra work to avoid being spied on by the spyware TV that you bought. You do you, though bud.

As opposed to buying, flashing, then installing a raspberry pi? Lol

Edit: using mod powers to censor me calling out your poor behaviour is also poor behaviour. Be better.

Honestly? It's not that far off, with a much better pay off. But like I said, you do you. You wanna die on the smartTV hill for whatever reason, go for it lmao
