So who’s going to make the first TV devices? 😎

I mean, all you need is the TV with displayport and a compute module and we’re good to go. It’s been done in the past but the devices don’t seem to get traction but with the way things are now, the biggrst hurdle seems to be not getting bought out and shutdown!

that also don't have ads.

YET!

What we need to be pushing is someone like Framework to build fixable TV’s. Plenty of companies now make PI compute style boards so give me a screen I can put my own PI compute style board in and flash my own software.

Then if JelllyFin added in the tuner side, considering it already has the basics, you’d likely get a ton of business selling custom TV’s that are more useable then the crap we have now. Look how popular the fire sticks got!

Makes me wish I had a few million to get a TV designed, make a batch but I think demand would be an issue… which begs the question, how is no-one doing it yet? 🤦‍♂️🙄
