The best Android box of 2022
There are plenty of options for streaming to a TV, but which offers the best bang for your buck?
You have to agree with me here. Regular cable TV just doesn’t butter the bread on both sides anymore. Lots of TV shows are quite frankly, re-runs or so old and dated, that you can’t help but feel short-changed. Come to think of it, I often end up watching Free to Air channels on a subscription. Talk about throwing money away.
If I had a penny for every time somebody got hoodwinked into buying a barely smart TV only to find out it’s just a screen with an abandoned half-baked OS, I’d be Jeff Bezos. Or perhaps you were an early adopter who jumped onto the bandwagon and bought an HDTV back in the day. Unfortunately, the time hasn’t been fair to people like us, and our awesome HDTVs are languishing in tech cemeteries just because the OS upgrades stopped coming through years ago.
