[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 9702557, member: 7808"] I'm curious. When you sit down an watch something on TV that isn't broadcast, what is the primary device that you use to get the video? Like your movies on Netflix, YouTube, streamed network files, or whatever else you might watch from a digital source. Do you have a smart TV and use the built-in apps? Do you use a Roku? X-Box or PlayStation? Apps on your cable box? An HTPC? Apple TV? An Amazon Fire Stick? Do you forgo anything but a standard DVD/Blu-ray player? Going further, was your choice just the thing that was easiest to get running or did you put any TLC into the setup? Is there anything you particularly like or don't like? Does it do 4k, 8k, 16k, or anything else esoteric? Personally, I primarily use an Nvidia Shield TV (which runs Android TV) and a game controller as a remote. I love it. Its great for streaming, has a well designed and snappy interface, and a ton of apps. The audio and video support is great, and it can handle things like retro game emulation very well. I've really come to prefer using a game controller to a standard remote; it's much faster. But my Shield is also getting a little long in tooth (it's the 2015 version), and Nvidia hasn't done a new hardware version since 2019. Also, let's get these out of the way: "I don't even own a TV, man." "Television? I just watch everything on my phone/tablet/computer." I'm very happy for you, but that's not the question asked. So kindly avoid thread-crapping, please and thank you. [/QUOTE]
