rip
Who?
Isn't this just the thing you jailbreak to get free streaming services when you don't know how to pirate?
>>221161270I still kinda miss those lil' hockey pucks... I know it's been a decade, but it was fun to watch internet on your tv with a remote control. Good times.
>>221161270Price of NVIDIA Shields are about to MOON!!!
>>221161270for me its synology ds200+ series
>>221161270What next? Something needs to replace Roku
>>221161270what happened
>>221161887Nvidia Shield
>>221161982>Nvidiaits bad enough that the thing they do actually cannot have competition, surely someone that isn't Nvidia, Google, Amazon, Fox can put out a Roku competitor right
>>221162011Are you retarded?
QRD?
>>221161403You didn't watch Avatar?
>>221162094>Am I retarded for not wanting Fox/Nvidia/Google/Amazon spyware in my householdare you fucking retarded? NVidia is a shit company that ruined gaming, their hardware is the best in the game and they have zero competition and won't have any for the forseeable future.Im not using your trash anymore past what I have to Nvidia Shill.
>>221162115>>221161898fox buy roku
>>221162132do you own a smart phone that is less than 5 years old brother?
>>221162196Yes? I barely upgrade my phones past what I have to because I barely touch any apps on that soulless shackle of a device
>>221161270They already own Tubi, and Roku channel's UI and commercial breaks are already shit so they'd have to work at it to make that worse.
Anybody remember those really early ads for Roku where they got a porn star named Alexis to show off its features? I remember when cringe compilations were a thing that ad used to always be in it. It’s immediately what I think of when I hear of Roku, but I think they took the ads down.
>>221162205but I heard that your smartphone can spy on you. and now with ai in the operating system it tracks all.your usage it's always listening
>>221161270their hardware sucks and is underpowered compared to Apple TV anywayapparently Roku totally acquired This Old House a few years ago, hopefully they don't get fucked by this
FOX bought roku. that is it. That is the happening.
>>221163015yeah, but my job requires me to have a work phone as well because its a shackle to keep you on call 24/7 that you're required to be tethered 2. I don't want more than I need. My phone can be put in a faraday cage.my dad used to tell me stories abt how he could go on a fishing trip in the 80s and return back with the department entirely on fire, and not once did he have to interrupt his catch to deal with his bosses bullshit.I wish we could go back brother, believe u and me
>>221161887those appletv boxes
>>221161982I fell for the Shield meme. Damn thing is glitchy as fuck and doesn't even support WPA3.
>>221161415Elderly people still use them on aging smart TVs. My dad recently bought a Roku TV because he didn't want to learn a new OS.
>>221161887>What next?nana
Ironically I just cancelled my fox app subscription because the app didn't work on my old ass roku tv. I understand roku doesn't see itself first and foremost as a hardware company but still what the fuck is fox going to do with a hardware business?
>>221161887unfortunately apple is somehow standing alone with the least aids inducing streaming box but they don't even give a shit about that line of business
I have a Roku for screen mirroring on my dumb-tv. Will that still work?
Any good idea gets fucked by google and Amazon. They can quickly hire some chinks to develop a cheap version of your hardware and everyone will think its quality because it has Amazon on it.
>>221162149Will I get to watch top-quality Fox and Disney shows and movies on the Roku Channel now?
To this day I have no idea what Roku is or was (maybe because I lived outside the US for 15 years)
>>221163455android tv box that you could download apps on for things like plutotv, plex and tubi
>>221163455it's been the lifeline to the modern tv world for millions of poorfags like me. they made passable quality TVs for cheap subsidized by their software and OS which was designed to scrape money off of all of the subscriptions you purchase and show you ads at all times
>>221163455It's a brand of streaming devices that later partnered with other brands to start producing extremely cheap HD televsions, it's the reason the average american household doesn't have an old CRT box from the 90s or 00s in the living room anymore.
I hope they don't fuck it up, it's the only competent smart framework
>>221161270S
>>221163203My Roku TV has a Baywatch and a Nash Bridges channel. Don't you wish you were boomer?
>>221163573Nigga, it has a Johnny Carson channel.
>>221163385Not to be a shill but Apple TV + Stremio + Plex + Proton VPN is a god tier streaming box. Stremio gets you 4K blu-ray remuxes of most films, Plex and a VPN can pick up anything that Stremio doesn't (it's also a much better interface for watching tv shows). Proton has built-in support with Apple TV so you can connect to Mongolia or Russia to watch Youtube ad-free without the need for a third party client. Most importantly, it's not riddled with bullshit ads and constant shilling. My old roommates had an Amazon Fire TV and that shit was terrible, would literally autoplay ads the moment you turned the tv on.
>>221163573dude every time I talk to my mom she's watching Nash Bridges. literally never heard of it prior to a couple months ago
>>221163588Jesus, I'll have to look for that. Jonesing for a Sammy Davis Jr. fix.
>>221163613what is stremio? I used to be an autistic usenet plex guy but that was over a decade ago. I just gave up and became a normie for the little amount of tv I still watch
>>221163672It's an app that lets you access and stream torrents directly from places like TPB, but it does require two things: a debrid service (Apple technically does not allow streaming torrents otherwise) and an external player (I use Infuse, Stremio does not natively support things like Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos).Basically, it's an app that lets you natively access and stream torrents on ATV without needing to use another device to download the torrent manually.
>>221163497>>221163498>>221163524Thanks anons, I missed out on the whole Roku, Sling, Chipotle, Panera Bread, Uber etc modernity shift
>>221162132They fixed gaming by keeping the poor out!
>>221161270How the FUCK would Fox buying Roku mean the end of Roku? It's the most low IQ shit ever to think that any company buying another company is just a bad thing automatically.
>>221163837But erm... it is? Because capitalism is crapitalism... I'm getting the ick from you anon.
>>221161415Roku IS free streaming. It has commercials like regular TV.
>>221161270I've got some concerns for the hardware side of Roku's business, but their AVOD side seems pretty in line with what Tubi (already owned by Fox) is doing. I wonder how long they'll keep those operating independently of one another. Might just keep the Roku name as the Smart OS brand while everything streaming goes to Tubi?
>>221163837Fox will start charging a fee for having roku. say goodbyes to free tv.
>>221163454I very much doubt that, you might get 1 month of free disney+™ when you buy a new roku device.
>Roku gets bought by megacorp>megacorp uses AI to make Roku track the viewer's eyeball movements>Roku begins controlling every aspect of our lives>decides to punish us eternally for looking away during a Chili's ad>mfw Roku's Basilisk
my tv is roku based but i have never once connected it to the wifi
Just get one of those high-end boxes designed for installing illegal streaming apps & IPTV services without the upcoming Google restrictions.
Fox is completely unrelated to Disney you retards.
>>221161270Goodbye, my kings and queens
>>221162132you vill rent ze VRAM
First Oliver tree and now this.
>>221163454wrong fox it's tubi fox
>>221161270How can it be worse? More ads? Half of the screen already is advertisements to shit I don't want to watch.
Gonna be honest Tubi is the most based FAST streamer so I'm slightly optimistic.
>>221167902word of mouth is going to enshitify it, so enjoy it while it lasts
