          If you’re really considering possibly (probably) worsening the performance of your tv just to download Peacock, might I suggest you buy a $20 streaming stick instead? They can all get Peacock

            A streaming stick that also need updates and just moves the problem you mean?

            Mine needs to be updated so I can continue using Kodi. If I use a stick with Kodi, same shit needs to be done regardless.

              Not the person you’re replying to, but if a bad update hits the streaming stick you’re out a $20 streaming stick not a few hundred dollar TV. Sure the problem has moved but the damage from being moved is a lot more manageable than it was before.

                At that point I’ll hook something else up.

                The point is convenience, not adding a bunch of other extra steps and failure points.

                What if the hdmi port fails? Then you’re gonna be glad you’ve got the tv instead.

                    I’ve never had a tv brick from an update. You see how none of the arguments matter? It’s a possibility, so to argue is just silly.

        That’s what I do. I love my Apple TVs. Never connected to TCL to the Internet.
