See the problem is that you let a display device connect to the internet
All new Roku devices do that, even if it’s not a Roku tv. Roku went from one of the best video devices to the worst in one fell swoop. Literally the only good off the shelf device is the Apple TV.
My Roku TV will be in a landfill before I allow it to send 1s and 0s through anything but the HDMI cord
How does it stream things/what's the point of a Roku if it's not connected to the Internet?
I feel like I'm explaining how you use a screen without touching it. Is this what it's like to be old?
You use HDMI. There are ports on the side of the device that allow video input from devices like computers and Xboxes. I use my computer and Xbox to watch Youtube and TV shows.
If you're asking why I have a smart TV instead of a dumb TV, that's because we live in 2023 and finding a TV without a wifi adapter is like finding a phone without a blighted notch
Ah, for some reason I thought you were referring to a Roku stick/box, not a smart TV, my mistake 👍.
roku tv
roku manufacturers 🤓 📺 in addition to streaming devices
It will still be connected to the Internet via the HDMI cord.
I'm unaware of any widely adopted use of HEC. Certainly none of the modern consoles use HEC, and I don't think my smart TV is compatible with it either
