Since my parents' double passing (horrendous end to an already totally f-cked 2020 - dad's only sister dies October, mid November mom's late sister's husband passed, then 11/24 MY dad dies in the nursing home, his one remaining sibling my namesake uncle in AZ dies of pneumonia on 12/12 then I find MY mother dead here at the home in which I lived/caregived/now dealing with neverending estate madness).
I NEVER watch tv and waiting to ship back the boxed-up DirecTV equipment I canceled (why keep paying for that crap?) BUT prior to dad going to the nursing home he purchased a sweet 55" LG 4K 'smart' tv and lately have been fiddling with the web-based components and found out the hard way this particular model does NOT support PlutoTV (2012-2015 and now starting in 2020 do, just not this one) nor USTV247.tv. And as it is WebOS (a linux derivative I guess?) based, will neither support 'sideloaded' 3rd party apps dammit. Any good ideas on free streaming CONSERVATIVE apps/channels for the tv? If any clever techies on here I'd LOVE to know some secrets - without having to go the 'rooting' route and possibly f-ck up the tv permanently - to get the GOOD stuff. FireStick? Roku?
