I currently use a large computer monitor as a television, and use a Google TV hdmi plugin to access content.
Rather than have Google selling all my personal data I would rather pay more for a privacy respecting alternative. Does something like the Vero V offer similar functionality, and if not what should I be using?
Ideally the solution should be family friendly using a remote to operate, and can access mainstream channels
Over the air broadcasts, DVD and Blurays from thriftshops bought with cash, jelly for your dowloads you get over VPN.
Are over the air broadcasts still a thing? Sorry if that’s a stupid question. Used DVD’s and Blu-ray’s are a certified fuck yeah.
in case you’re on the older side, in addition to what they said in the other comment OTA broadcasts are now digital HD.
Yes. We don’t watch it a ton because of ads, but it absolutely exists. In fact, I assume that’s how most people watch major events like the Super Bowl (US) or the Olympics. We get a couple dozen channels, maybe more (haven’t counted), and the only ones we watch regularly are PBS (kids cartoons, informative shows) and the local university’s channel.
Oh, and radio also exists, in case you’re too zoomer to know. :) I listen to it every day on the way to/from work in my car.
