It's the anti-streaming app. No grid of thumbnails, no "are you still watching," no endless choice. You build channels once — Saturday cartoons, a movie channel, a marathon — and dumbTV runs them as continuous broadcasts, whether anyone's watching or not. Tune in and you join the show already in progress, exactly like real TV.
