gollark: It also seems to be impossible to actually retune it, so it can't access any BBC channels without the GTech™ TVSmart™ device (spare raspberry pi and a keyboard/mouse) plugged in.
gollark: We have a Samsung TV. It seems to have a screen about 30" in size and is ancient (not CRT-ancient, but quite old).
gollark: Doesn't mean *you* should.
