Yeah people talk about building your own with rpi and a Linux desktop. I’m looking for something with a remote control, not a mouse pointer, with a UI designed to be used with a remote control, not a mouse pointer, that will run things like emby / jellyfin. Maybe a DirectTV app or other streaming apps. Anyone know of such a thing?

Are there any good open source tv os options? I’ve been using Roku forever to avoid manufacturer bloat and and because it blends subs, plex, and antenna so well.

See my comment below - ONN Google TV box with Projectivy launcher installed has no ads and full access to anything on Google Play (or, for now, F-Droid or alternative app stores).

The degoogle subreddit has posts about Android tv, what devices and software to use

The best cheap and easy option at the moment appears to be ONN Google TV boxes, which you can install Projectivy as an ad-free launcher on. The AI-fueled price bloat is making the newest models hard to find, though.

android TV kinda sucks,
i wish Kodi and its addons were getting more traction. Kodi is powerful and capable.
I need to give Slyguy some money!

If it’s any consideration, I’m trying to build one, but KDE Big Screen should be coming out soon.
