As an early adopter of the whole whole "just plug a computer into the TV thing" going back to the early 2000s, I will say that its kinda shocking that no one has developed a really solid 10-foot interface that doesn't need a shit-ton of tweaks to work right.
I understand that people want to just be able to plug shit in and go. I have an HTPC hooked up at my house, but for family members that aren't interested in tweaking shit and troubleshooting, they get a firestick with stremio on it.
