@kkarhan@mastodon.social @saxnot@chaos.social @groxx@hachyderm.io @silberfuchs@social.edist.ro @Hex@kolektiva.social Sure, but now you need *two* devices, and you have to always make sure the TV screen is set to the right input to accept the Kodi box, once it's turned on (It is on, right?).
The benefit of a smart TV is that, as long as they aren't spying and telemetry harvesting your data, you get the best of both, but in one device.

@AT1ST@mstdn.ca @saxnot@chaos.social @groxx@hachyderm.io @silberfuchs@social.edist.ro @Hex@kolektiva.social well, I've yet to find a TV (or any screen) that doesn't turn on upon getting an HDMI/DVI/VGA/DP/SCART signal. - And the few cases where you don't want people fumbling around (and you can't be assed to i.e. send a Wake-on-LAN packet) are digital signage and those are on 24/7 or get powered on/off by scheduled breakers anyway…
