I rage cancelled one day when trying to watch soccer and it never booted up the stream just stayed on the “starting soon” when it was like 30 minutes in already. Trash app.

Well, I’m glad to know it’s not just me. I thought my smart TV just sucked.

It could be both. Most smart TVs are trash in the hardware department. They all cheap out on storage space, FFS, when solid state storage is cheap AF now. I had to stick a thumb drive in my Samsung's USB port just to have enough space to install HBO Max. They only give you 1GB (!) and then install 10 unremovable apps that I have never once even run and never will. I am this close 🤏 to buying yet another Fire Stick (I have 2 older "dumb" TVs that still work fine) because the OS in this Samsung sucks so hard. I swear when it dies I'm never buying another Samsung device as long as I live. Their phones suck, their TVs' software sucks, their appliances suck.

Same. I only have it to watch the Champions League and it would not even let me do that consistently. The second time I had to pirate a damn stream to watch my match I cancelled that shit.

My favorite is when at the 60th min of the stream it would 'auto play the next episode' with a 3 second count down and switch to a completely different game before I was fast enough to grab the remote to stop it.
