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

I feel like I've managed to really get out ahead with my latest TV purchase - I managed to buy a really nice large dumb TV for like $200, used. I then connected a Chromecast running Android TV, which I have modded extensively to get around "the bad parts". Quite nice!
