Is that supposed to be long-lived for a TV?

I'm running an LG initially released in 2013 and the only thing I'm not happy with is that about a year ago Netflix ended their app for that hardware generation (likely for phasing out whatever codec it used). Now I'm running that unit behind an Amazon fire stick and the user experience is so much worse.

(that LG was a "smart" TV from before they started enshittifying, such a delight - had to use and set up a recent LG once on a family visit and it was even worse than the fire stick, omg, so much worse!)

If, by chance, you're not running the latest version RootMyTV [0] may be an option. Or downgrade might still be an option [1].

Fire Stick is the most enshittified device (which is why it was so cheap). AppleTV is fantastic if you're willing to spend $100. You don't need the latest gen; previous gen are just as good.

I don't see anything in that comment implying such a thing. It's just about the uptake of decoders.
