get any tv and dont hook it to the net. use a device like a nvidia shield, a game console or something similar if you want streaming apps

You think consoles don’t track you? Also they are extremely wasteful when it comes to power consumption. Better just get a tiny streaming stick or a smart tv.

Have you considered that you can play videogames on them?

[–] neutron@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not everyone plays games or has time for it.

That's why they recommended more than consoles.

[–] Vub@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, but we are discussing streaming here. I also have several consoles and I play on them but for streaming they’re a really bad (expensive) option for the reason I mentioned: electricity.
