Anyone know of good custom firmware that can be flashed onto a 50" Roku tv? I had one given to me last year and I sure as hell am not giving that thing net access, especially now.

I've never really used it yet except to plug it in once to make sure it works, but I was thinking of setting it up as a secondary "game room" tv so it doesn't really need internet anyway, but I'd like to leave no trace of anything roku on it if at all possible.

    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.
