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.

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.
