In regards of technology these days, if you want to go one step forward, you have to take several steps back for whatever reason because people have gotten too comfortable with companies being anti-consumer. This even applies to televisions, the piece of tech needed to use game consoles, DVD players, streaming services, and so forth.
The biggest flaws with smart TVs have to be the intrusive ads, privacy concerns, and the abnormally small remotes that don’t have enough buttons. The very limited button scheme on the remote has enough room to have buttons for four different streaming platforms, but apparently not enough for a guide or input button? Back in my day we were complaining about remote controls having too many buttons, now there isn’t enough.

I recently got a Fire TV, and I kid you not. It Has no volume button on the remote I have to use the Buttons on the TV the old fashioned way.

Can you make a video about CN Check It Era 1.0/2.0? i think its a very underrated era and was a huge part of my childhood
The old TV is don't has smart and new tv had been smarter.
since most smart tvs and streaming boxes remotes dont have alot of the shortcut buttons like old ones did i bough a Logitech Harmony new old stock and used that for my Apple TV and other components and i also like having backlit buttons on my remotes
I honestly hate how companies try to make every goddamn electronic into a fucking a smartphone, and it's even WORSE!
Official Roku app has gotta be the worse
Smart TVs is underrated to me.
My solution is a computer monitor, a TV tuner (with its remote), and a pair of computer speakers. I can't turn off the monitor from the couch, but other than that it is a much more pleasant experience that any modern TV!
