@icedquinn If I were to buy a TV, I would probably buy it from GPX because not only do they sell their products on their actual website, they are also the only TV manufacturer I know of that still makes dumb TVs.
@xianc78 thats pretty neat but cost more than this one did. i need to unbox it and make sure it will boot without internet.
if it doesn't i'll just return it and put a retired computer monitor up instead.

@xianc78 i was gonna do a little iptv but it turns out those are all either pirate radio or appshit and i'm not interested in having to rent cloud dvrs and shit workarounds when i could just 
do a little sailing.
le shrug. family wanted me to have a tv, so i do. i haven't much need of it.

>IPTV
Isn't that something that MSN tried to get into back into the 90s but failed?
@xianc78 @icedquinn nah IPTV is TV over the internet
@icedquinn @xianc78 that would mean that MAFIAA boomers get removed.
you get a playlist m3u file representing channels, where each entry is another playlist m3u representing the stream sources. its a thing that is very much alive (but mostly you don't get the m3us anymore, you get "xtream codes") but there are basically no legitimate ones.
italy, being a rather silly country, decided to convict xtream for having too many naughty clients even though all they provided was management portal software.
the legitimate places use a combination of widevine bullshit and custom apps (or white label rented ones), but they are ultimately still just bog standard MPEG-DASH/HLS under the hood like anyone else.
