I'm still in a car and still more than 3 hours from home, driving through rural Alabama, so I may not update this thread as quickly as I otherwise would.
But this is a thread.

Alright, lets start with the problems: People want to watch television. Modern televisions spy on you, screenshot what you're watching and phone home with it, and use your home internet connection to proxy other people's traffic. The modern settop box ecosystem is dominated by google, apple, amazon, and roku. Roku is being acquired by Fox. Google, Apple, and Amazon are owned by billionaires who are perfectly happy to bend their knee to fascists, and their products also spy on you. This is prime time for a good, open source, community focused set top box alternative.
