   @ocdtrekkie yeah same. In a way, it seems a silly pursuit to seek privacy and freedom in such a locked down environment but dang it is still want to! Haha. Man, my leg is starting to feel a little peg like... Oh thats a neat hat... ☠️

   But no. Besides I'd screw it up and be the one who gets caught. Lol

     @ocdtrekkie yeah ive been using roku for a few years now and it is still looking the best of the options, but as you said, that's a low bar. Just hopeing there's something else. Kodi was brought up, but i havent been impressed in the past. It solves a lot of issues i have with the commercial options but it comes with a whole set of its own quirks. So idk, i may tinker with kodi again. We'll see.

     @Hawk1291 If watching the usual Netflix/Disney+/Paramount+/Peacock/Hulu/HBO Max stuff is a primary need I think sucking up with proprietary platforms that are popular but single purpose is still best bet.

     I haven't seen a compelling case that Kodi/Plex/etc. are a good option unless piracy is your primary source.

     @Hawk1291 I accept Rokus as "the least sucky way to watch a bunch of very proprietary apps". It's the best, and that's a very low bar, but generally if some TV has Roku on it, you'll get all the streaming services for a lot of years, and that's rarely the case with anything else.
