You know what’s even better for cutting down ads on a fucking android TV? Never owning one
I’m terribly sorry for wanting functionality from my television other than playing a DVD or watching terrestrial TV.
I swear some people on lemmy need to chill. Not everyone lives in an off grid cabin in the woods, with no passport, not connected to the internet BUT running a local network, with a server containing all their DVDrips.
Nah, a Chromecast with Google TV is a super cheap and reliable way to sail the high seas. Stremio, VPN, some kind of debrid service. Works better than any legal streaming service my friend told me. Not that I would ever try to hurt the poor studios.
Do you set up the VPN on the router or on the Chromecast?
On the Chromecast, one of the other reasons I got one. There's some localised content I get to access like that.
I considered a VPN on the router but a) the router provided by our ISP doesn't support that, so it would be another investment and b) I didn't want to introduce a potential point of headache for when I'm not around. I.e. my non tech savvy partner having trouble with the VPN.
Personally I had to stop using my Chromecast because the 4k playback was so choppy at certain points it became unwatchable. Ironically the native software on my TV does better, but still not perfect..
