Roku’s Ultimatum: Surrender Jury Trial Rights or Lose Access to Your TVs
(programming.dev)
Did your Roku TV decide to strong arm you into giving up your rights or lose your FULLY FUNCTIONING WORKING TV? Because mine did.
It doesn't matter if you only use it as a dumb panel for an Apple TV, Fire stick, or just to play your gaming console. You either agree or get bent.
I believe it is possible by simply attach a rooted device to the TV with streaming capability, like a computer, or a rooted nvidia shield.
Although I don't agree with OP that everything needs to be rooted, for example, my phone runs grapheneos without root, I do believe most rooted OS are more usable than proprietary OS like Roku.
