I just finished setting up a custom router with dns ad blocking. Next comes a media player so I can purge this smart TV filth from my household.
Huge shout out to Louis Rossmann and the FUTO communuty contributors, check out the wiki on self-hosted software if you haven’t already.
Are they still making those or are they all 5+ years old (2019 was latest I could find on eBay)?
Yep, all 5 years old. I don’t see a need for another one quite yet when even the newest streaming devices still don’t measure up.
Any issues popping up (especially from the old version of Android)?

the age of the device put me off, it still runs android 11 as well apparently. I wouldnt want to buy one now and then a refresh comes out
