I have an old school boob tube tv in my room, currently with a firestick running through a converter. It’s fine i guess, but i want something else because 1, the aspect ratio is off since it expects to be hooked up to a flatscreen, and 2 the privacy problem of running something from amazon. Is there something that could work here?

    I used to be real ghetto about it and use my SteamLink that I bought when they did a fire sale and they are 5 bucks each.

    If you can snag a used one, maybe that could work? I dunno though, I wouldn’t let go of mine for almost anything.

    They’re reasonably priced used on ebay, in my opinion. Most are around $50 with one that’s listed as “factory sealed” for $105. If I recall correctly, they originally were around $50 to begin with when Valve initially released them.

      I have a few from the same fire sale. I should mess about with them.
