Okay awesome! Thank you again! One last question… Is the setup you linked possible to do from an Android phone, for at least a little while? It’ll take a few months before I can pick up the Onn device, and brain demands this now, knowing there’s a way forward lol

Okay, awesome! I’ll look into this further! Thanks!

I don’t have an iPhone, or any other Apple devices aside from the two TV boxes, unfortunately. This house is a purely Linux/Android house lol That said, I definitely appreciate all this info, and may go digging for an android alternative, so this gives me an idea of what direction I can go in!

Awesome! Thank you for this! I only have a basic understanding of how IPTV even works, so the explanation even on its own is useful AF and gives me some avenues

Awesome suggestion! Only issue is… The gen 3 doesn’t have any app store or way (that I know of) of downloading anything new to the device. It’s kinda gotta go through some hacky method like hijacking existing apps on the system :/

Edit: unless you’re referring to something like the other guy that mentioned jellyfin is talking about? (Sorry, I just woke up, I’m kinda stupid rn lol)

I heard someone call these kinda of people “fence turtles”. Nobody knows how they got up there, they don’t do anything useful, and they’re not likely to come down anytime soon

Big fed energy here… Or you’re 12…

Like everyone else said, funding=/=ownership. I do suspect, however, that part of why these big tech companies fund Linux is because they rely on something built on Linux in one way or another. Linux tends to be the better options for things like servers, low processing devices, and more, and if they keep funding it, it continues to exist so they can use it. You’d be surprised about how much of the world actually uses Linux in some way.
