Roku does the same. At this point I would be surprised if any box or TV isn't taking 30%.

Hey people. Did we forget that everyone has access to the internet? It's not like a physical store!!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

One of the reasons the state of smart home TV really disappoints me. Logical conclusion is we'll all end up with Netflix HDMI sticks, Hulu sticks etc etc etc. DRM means we're never going to end up with a fully open TV player.

I'll just opt for the Kodi / Plext TV sticks and call it a day. Or hook it up to a HTPC and call it a day.
