My dog tore up the remote so we were forced to use the roku app to control the tv.

They’re showing ads on the remote app. It feels like we can never escape this dystopian hellacape.

    Android TV allows you to sideload apps very easily. I use several sideload apps. It’s friggin wonderful.

      That is the side of iOS and Apple’s stuff I hate.

      What kind of apps are you side loading? Apple TV has VLC and Plex, which seem like the apps people who manage their own media use. Of course you need a NAS or server to host your content and it won’t do that. Then all the major streaming services have first party apps (though Netflix seems to neglect theirs)

        Smart tube The best YouTube app. Strips all the ads and much more.

        And another one for IPTV.

          Cool thanks, I’ve never tried the alternative YouTube apps, whether I open the website it gives very questionable revomendatuons to me.
