Comment on Best TV box for connecting to streaming services?

If you want things to just work: Chromecast with Android TV, plus PiHole or Adguard to pull out of all the telemetry and advertising (except maybe Amazon Prime’s new stuff).
Also, Google at least gives you the possibility to pull out of the personalized stuff and doesn’t work much with 3rd party advertiser’s. And those they work with are being taken care of with PiHole and Adguard.

I have that setup. The entire front page of Chromecast is baked-in advertising with a small row of your apps and pihole with a good list still doesn’t get rid of them, sadly.
Chromecast is built for and of ads. That being said, it definitely does “just work”. Jellyfin + Chromecast is a great streaming experience. I don’t have to deal with skipping and stuttering like on the android app.
