Thing is… Fire sticks are loaded with ads too (at least in stock configuration, different story once you tweak or so-called “jailbreak”)

As for now I just connect my Linux HTPC I grabbed for $30

Thanks. Honestly, we have a house full of Apple TVs and (except for the game consoles) I was struggling to find anything that was comparable that preserves (or claims to preserve) privacy.

I know a lot of people don’t trust Apple, and the latest tvOS is not as good as older versions.
