Yep we bought one in 2020, that thing sucked .

Switched to Sony recently and couldn't be happier. Granted there are still ads but at least the UI is fast and responsive

Do yourself a favour and switch to using a video game console, Apple TV or if you’re more technical my inclined - a HTPC.

Manufacturers have been getting increasingly nosey with their data collection policies, as well as inserting additional adds after the fact.

And can guarantee that in all circumstances, both the software and hardware will be infinitely better built, supported and more reliable.
