I bought my TV from Costco, it has Roku built-in and I think it gets the same software updates. The full integration has some advantages, like having a single remote that stops the playback when I turn the TV off.

But now that Roku has decided they want in on the content business and the ad business you are stuck with them (as am I). I don't want a device that has to make deals with content providers to take a cut TBH. That's why HBO Max is still not on Roku.

Why are you stuck with them? Does your TV not have HDMI ports or something?

That should already be possible via HDMI-CEC.

Unfortunately some devices don't support it, but I would guess most streaming sticks/boxes do.
