Currently I use firetv stick but I hate the ads. I only use it to launch arte, jellyfin and smarttube so it's OK. But if I would have children it would be very bad because it's filled with shiny trash everywhere. I wouldn't want my kids (or anyone) to see that stuff.

I am looking forward to plasma bigscreen in june but I can't add more value to it right now than donating to kde. Is there something else? I've got a Samsung TV which is on the same level of badness as firetv. It could be worse but it's far from good as well

Taking a hike on this post, I have an old 2nd gen FireTV model LY73PR. What can I install on it to get less crap? I was thinking about a new ROM, to get completely rid from Amazon stuff. It already has jellyfin client, but it's so slow and such a bad interface that we never use it.

My firetv stick is fast and works like a charm with jellyfin. There is just loads of amazon crap
