    “Honey! Our TV isn’t showing up channels!”

    “Gee, fine. Hold on.”

    ssh gnu.linux@1.2.3.69
    cd /sys/devices/tv/channels
    cat channels_list
    [none]
    

    Ah, *beep.

      “Honey the remote stopped working”

      God damn it the last update installed libir 2.1.5 which pymote 4.7.0 isn’t yet compatible with.

    I basically don’t use TV. I have a simple, old wide screen 16:9 monitor that was gifted to me. Good enough.

    Unless you have the ability to root it, does it matter? It’s likely a completely custom, stripped down distro anyway.

      Just want to stay away from Android TV crapps and ads. ( Also, dont need root as of now - Based on forum posts, root access is not allowed )
