    Not 100% sure on Samsung specific apps but, UAD makes life easier when trying to debloat Android phones.

    I’m not directly affiliated with the development, I just thinks a cool tool. The more people using / contributing the better it will get.

    This was an interesting movie(s) to say the least. You need to watch all of them, regardless if your stomach can handle it 🙂

    Thank you! I'm going to start looking at the Synology NAS devices. I have one of their routers which I really like so the NAS stuff should be similar (fit, finish, interface, etc.).

    Appreciate the comment. The Roku seems to be pretty popular and luckily it's just me, so I can experiment.

    Thank you for this! I'll look more at the Synology NAS devices and see what that's all about. I'm probably the other way around, stream more, and emulate once in a while.

    Yeah, a sad side effect of the subscription/advertising economy. Current TV has as much of that turned off, that I can find at least. Although I haven’t gone full “remove everything from the network”, yet 🙂

    Yup, I did go down the rabbit hole and read the links and stuff. Interesting reading and something to consider. I guess it's back to a non-networked DVD/Blu-Ray player and get stuff from the local library or Craigslist :)

    Appreciate your comment, and that seems like a common setup. If you didn't have the ATV, what would you front end the Plex server with? I have a Synology router and would probably buy a Synology NAS, if I went that route.

  • Hi and hope all are well today. First, thanks in advance for any / all responses. Second, apologies if this isn’t the best place to ask this question. I’m curious if anyone, has moved completely from using an AppleTV to something else. Current use case for the ATV is a few streaming apps (Crunchyroll / HiDive, Tubi, etc.) and Apple Arcade (a few casual games). If you did completely switch, what did you decide on using? Did you go back to buying movies / using a DVD/Blu-Ray player, setup a mini PC and stream from websites / rip music and movies, use a gaming console instead, etc.? Exploring options and entertaining thoughts for right now. Again, thanks and have a good day / evening. **Edit** - 2024/01/01 - Just wanted to thank everyone for the lively discussion and resources (links, recommendations, etc.) related to my question.
