Say I do that.
Streaming can be done through the browser. Which frontend would I use to access the regular TV channels?
Sorry, streaming from a browser on a Linux PC is limited to 540x860 due to an inability to establish an HDCP chain. Have you tried using the TV's native Netflix app instead?
Ohhh no! The horror!
This is what piracy is for.
There is non-smart TVs with a Netflix app installed?
I was reinforcing your point about using a monitor and a Linux PC not being able to replace all the things a smart TV can do. You said streaming would work, but regular TV channels wouldn't, and I pointed out that even streaming would be limited as the major streaming services don't allow full quality via a browser, especially on Linux where HDCP can't work.
In france there's an ISP,Free, that just gives you a .m3u playlist that you can use whenever you want. Maybe there such an ISP where you live..?
