    Right… but the discussion is specifically about how Apple is pretty much the only consumer friendly TV device available right now. Hopefully a new, better one comes along but to your point, that one will eventually be shit too soooo idk whats the point its all going to burn

      I hooked a PC up to my device. You’d be surprised how consumer-friendly it is. I didn’t even need to beg Tim Cook to run my favorite programs on it.

        I want to try this for sure, but was that an out of the box solution?

        I have a PC but it can’t use HDMI CEC correctly, so I would have to buy an adapter, then buy a special remote, configure that, then figure out how I want my boot storage encrypted or not.

        What’s the app/service situation like?

        That’s a great solution. It think we were talking more about people that don’t even use PCs. Older people like grandparents or other tech illiterate that maybe use a tablet at most.
