    I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about here. I
    have two Samsung Smart TV sets here and they have worked perfectly
    well for many years.

    I have 3, as they age, I seem to have more and more problems with the apps installed. They'll lock up without warning, and load slower and slower each month, it seems.

    I've hooked a Roku up to one of them at this point because the apps are almost unusable.
    One is in the basement where I have my library and my pool
    table as well as other non-TV activities going on.
    Another one in my bedroom, where I have 5.1 sound support
    installed via the optical fiber from the TV set.
    Both of the above have each one Raspberry Pi connected to my
    huge library of downloaded movies and TV shows.

    Ah! A fellow digital packrat!

    I've got about 50TB of TV/Movies on a server with 24 drives of various sizes (63TB of total space). I stream it all to various TVs using PLEX, which has apps for just about every TV and device in existence.

    I can even stream to remote locations, like my cottage or a hotel if I'm traveling.

    Ah yes, there is that of course. On my oldest one, the Youtube app disappeared years ago, and just a month or so ago the HBO app no longer was supported. But Chromecast still works, albeit not so easily operated (with the TV set remote control).
