Say I do that.

Streaming can be done through the browser. Which frontend would I use to access the regular TV channels?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Sorry, streaming from a browser on a Linux PC is limited to 540x860 due to an inability to establish an HDCP chain. Have you tried using the TV's native Netflix app instead?

Oops my hand slipped and I accidentally torrented all my favorite shows!

There is non-smart TVs with a Netflix app installed?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I was reinforcing your point about using a monitor and a Linux PC not being able to replace all the things a smart TV can do. You said streaming would work, but regular TV channels wouldn't, and I pointed out that even streaming would be limited as the major streaming services don't allow full quality via a browser, especially on Linux where HDCP can't work.

In france there's an ISP,Free, that just gives you a .m3u playlist that you can use whenever you want. Maybe there such an ISP where you live..?
