This, though I would say Google TV is the most agreeable offline.

>>107118867
>largest app store
>deshitafyable via ADB
>remote buttons are easily remappable
>plenty of brands to choose from
it's the least shit of the smart tv platforms

>>107118735 (OP)
shield, apple tv, or firestick works on any TV. build in android shit is always trash

>>107118735 (OP)
LG WebOS

>>107118745
This, but if you must just don't plug it into the internet. Use an htpc or something over hdmi

>>107119114
PoopOS

Dumb TV with a PC or Android set-top-box

>>107118745
I haven't bought a TV in over a decade. Can you still buy dumb TVs?

>>107119316
I believe you have to overpay for a commercial signage display but technically yes

I used to have a Hisense TV. Very good bang for the buck, despite being Chinese. After a couple years, I realized that I watched everything on my PC so I sold the TV. My living room is kind of an unarranged mess right now, though I don't miss having a TV really. Main benefit of PC watching is that I can scratch my autism itch by glancing at IMDb during whatever movie or show. That, and it's much easier and faster to acquire whatever movie or show I do want.
>What about having people over?
I don't really, and if I do, there's lots more to do than sit and watch something. We're talking and actually hanging out.

Is TiVo still a thing?

I want to replace my Sony Bravida tv but I don't want to connect it to the internet.

>>107119544
Can I install newpipe in a Hisense TV?

>>107119316
Last 'TV' I bought was a smart tv, android tv os. But I never attach it to the internet. I just connect my pc to it via hdmi and use the pc..
I'm currently typing this on said pc, sitting in the sofa, wireless keyboard on my lap and two tv's as monitors.

>>107120599
Bump for this

>>107119114
That shit sucks. I'd rather have a dumb OLED TV but no one makes them.

>>107121505
>>107120599
They support Android TV, which Hisense was. So yes

>>107118735 (OP)
Jellyfin I guess
or Plex
whatever

>>107121519
Factory reset if you already have one, then don't connect it to the internet. Pray they don't start installing cellular devices to force updates and telemetry in the future. Get an external device such as a shield or *gasp* Apple Tv since it supposedly does a better job blocking telemetry.

>>107123682
Apple tv also have pretty nice interface and remote. But I also think that lgs webos is fine. At least it's way better than android slop

>>107124724
Can you install APKs in webOS?

Telly. Free with a whole second screen for ads!

No. It's not an Android based os. It's based on mobile linux platform by palm. There is a way to sideload ipk apps, but there's way less stuff than on android tv.

>>107119568
Then don't setup the internet on it and if you're paranoid, just blacklist the fucker on your network.

>>107118735 (OP)
The FOSS one.

>>107120599
>>107121505
newpipe's design is based on a phone, you should install smartube which is the foss android tv app

>>107118735 (OP)
they all suck just buy whatever works
i'd say buy a dumb TV and plug whatever you want in but idk if you can even find decent dumb TV's anymore

>>107123646
those are Applications my nigga

>>107118745
Based

>>107118735 (OP)
Just wait in 5 years the EU will require all smart tvs to dual boot into dumb mode.

>>107119114
genuinely the worst TV OS i've ever used it's a shame LG dominates OLED TV's atm

>>107126088
The market is complete shit, soon waves of smart tvs will go eol and not receive security updates, allowing hackers to make botnets

>>107124920
no
