Discussion Would you trade new TV features for five years of smooth software?

keep seeing TV announcements focus on screen size and new smart features, but the interface is usually what starts annoying me first.

Some of the Hisense TV talk ahead of IFA got me wondering: would you rather get more features at launch, or fewer features with a guarantee that the menus and streaming apps will still run smoothly five years later?

At this point I’d probably choose the boring option, faster navigation, fewer ads and longer updates.

Discussion Live channels??

0 Upvotes

Where can we watch live channels like ESPN, Fox sports 1, Fox News, CNN, local news, etc..

I used to watch these channels on stream fire/ sports fire But now that they're down I haven't been able to find a replacement..

The only replacement so far are live sports only options like AK-47 voltra TV.. But these do not show live airing like sports center or local news?

Has anybody found anything that's working?

Discussion Mecool won't launch new boxes

3 Upvotes

A Mecool spokesperson told me they won't release devices anymore but current ones will still receive firmware updates until Google demands it.

The only device that seems to be excluded is the Mecool KT2, I've got one so now I will have to see what to do with that paperweight.

The store also lists practically all devices out of stock so this seems to be the end of the Mecool brand.
