Why are TV user interfaces so slow and glitchy?

228 views

I feel like TV app’s like Netflix (maybe the exception) / HBO / Hulu / AppleTV+ / et. al. are incredibly slow and pretty poorly designed. When I hit a button a few times on the remote to scroll it will lag, then jump suddenly across a few icons. Computer based apps don’t do this. What gives?

The computer in your TV isn’t very powerful. You generally aren’t buying your TV based on its processor speed so they generally skimp as much as they can while still making it functional
