    What I’ve found annoying with smart TVs in my family is also their start up time. Displaying the company logo for a minute before you can actually do or display anything is for some reason much more annoying than turning on my ten year old TV and then watch the even older laptop boot into xubuntu for a minute.

      I don’t know what kind of smart TV do you have but both of my Samsung TVs come on immediately to whatever I need. If I turn on my Xbox and hit the button they immediately come up to my xbox, if I turn on my fire stick they immediately come to the fire stick. I have three Vizio TVs as well and none of them have any issues coming up. I even have one fire TV that just immediately pops up it’ll display the logo for like half a second and then come into the menu.

        Yeah, my vizio boots to their home screen like once a week, but all I have to do is press a button on the video game controller and it jumps to that video.
