If that is a true priority, then you do not want Android TV.
Not even a raspberry pi with lineage os?
You would also be hesitant with youtube and netflix
I know. As I said, I’d be using Jellyfin for the most part.

Security and privacy are priorities

Is there a good way to watch the streaming services on your TV without trusting either Google/Apple/Amazon to not spy on you with their hardware?

You can use kodi on any old computer or a kodi device like Vero that uses OSMC. There are non official apps for most services. Some take a little time setting up, others just username and password. While kodi its self might not spy. The streaming services certainly still track what you watch.

Probably not.
NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Good question.
For youtube, there are alternative frontends (piped etc.)
I have no experience with the others.

I went for an old small PC so that I can get 4K on Netflix with Edge (most Android box tops at 1080p or less, I don’t remember, because they are not certified by Netflix). I can watch YouTube videos on piped.com, use a VPN to watch contents available only in other countries and in this way no one is spying on me.
