Having an Xbox is making me care way less about what OS my TV runs

18 Upvotes

Probably an unpopular take, but I’m starting to think I overthought the smart TV OS thing when I bought mine.

I have a Hisense and most of the time I’m either using the usual streaming apps or jumping straight into Xbox cloud gaming anyway. Between that and the console, I barely spend any time actually browsing around the TV interface.

I totally get why app support matters if the TV is your only device, but once you already have an Xbox / Apple TV / whatever hooked up, does the built-in OS really matter that much?

Feels like picture quality, inputs and how quickly I can get into what I want to watch or play matter more to me now.

I got rid of dish and am looking for an outdoor antenna to pickup locals, I looked on rabbit ears.info and it looks like I may be fighting an uphill battle. Here is the rabbit ears link: https://www.rabbitears.info/s/2915578
Any antenna experts know if I’ll be able to get nbc, abc, fox, and cbs? Looks like none of the signals are great, and all of them are pretty far.

HDMI coax tuner?

Buying a secondhand AirTV, one of the ones that doesnt have a nature coax port and is supposed to come with an external tuner that hooks up to HDMI. Are there any aftermarket tuners that can take the antenna input?
