Smart TVs are all well and good, but when ad-focused update lobotomized my new-ish Android TV, we hit a problem.

    Wouldn’t the android box, fire stick connecting the internet be doing the same thing that you don’t want your smart TV to be doing?

    I always always thought getting one of those was to either circumvent the TV OS limitation (Example LG webOS) or to improve user experience on entry level smart TV or older smart TV.

      The one upside to a dedicated streaming box is the guaranteed security updates.

      Netflix for example may choose to support the app on your fire stick or nvidia shield for a longer time then on a specific TV.
