Smart TV stories really show the bubble that many here are in.<p>“Why would anyone use a Smart TV?! Just build a home theatre PC to connect to your old TV via a 60ft HDMI cable and use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

Not to mention the difficulties with the above for higher end content such as 4K Dolby Vision playback.<p>People want a basic interface that doesn’t require downloading files beforehand.
