Yeah, I'd really like slightly better support for plugging in something smart into a dumb TV.

In the UK, if my shield would show freeview TV channels I'd probably never need to leave the interface, and thus I'd be happy to lock a TV into a shield slave.

Unfortunately it just doesn't work like that for us over here though.

I have a HD Homerun and the channels app for that.

I’m using the shield exclusively for smart features and the OLED as a dumb display.

That's interesting. Thanks of making me aware.
