After a good... maybe 3 years? of service, my cheap Roku TV is kinda gnawing on the dust, hasn't quite taken a bite yet. Damn thing will not stay connected to WiFi for more than a few minutes. But that's how it goes, I guess. I buy a cheap TV, and it shits the bed after a couple years.
Despite my TV being a POS, I do vastly prefer the Roku OS, but alas, it seems nobody makes Roku TV's anymore. Most brands like Sony and TCL have gone to Google TV (which I don't like) or proprietary software like Samsung and LG.
As someone nipple-deep in the Apple ecosystem, I wish they would just hurry up and make their own TV or partner with an established brand instead of swearing by boxes.
