That’s why you get a computer, slap it under a large TV or display and watch online videos with ublock origin on. The computer gets the ethernet while the TV gets the HDMI.

    Besides, regular TV channels and their programs suck. Nothing of value was lost when I decided skip connecting my TV cable. It's basically a glorified display now, and the computer provides all the videos I could ever want.

    You could think of it as a "smart TV" setup of sorts, since the computer is smart and can do so much more than any smart TV out there. You can watch all sorts of streaming stuff on it, it can block ads, and even YouTube is barely tolerable now that I installed sponsor block. I've even installed Steam on the PC and played some simple games on it. It's not quite a console yet, but after a few upgrades it could be.
