My experience is different.

I love it especially now that I can install VPN. I can access US-version of Netflix, Disney+, etc while traveling.

I am not saying smart TVs are bad. Just that android really isn't the best example. You can do this with Kodi or any alternatives too. Even my dump smart TV has VPN.

Also taking your TV put to travel definitely is a rare edge case ;P

Edit:// wait? Was that just a subtle Nord placement?

Oh I don't travel with my TV.

I'm referring to the OS in the newest Chromecast.

It's Google TV which is built on top of Android TV.

I think he means he can access US Netflix in hotels because I had a similar experience somewhere.

You can get pluggable Android TV which plug into HDMI ports in Hotel TVs and things like this.

Last few times I brought my laptop and HDMI cable to a hotel and it was nice. We usually go to places for outdoorsy things and in the night there's not much to do
