Hi all I have a few TVs around the house and have previously used firestick and stremio setup. I do like stremio tbh but I am trying to decode/deamazon etc so I need an alternative option for the TVs. Not all are smart TVs and I like it that way so accept a small box attached is the cost.
I tend to basically use stremio and cinema HD at a push., and a VPN app. A few uk tv catchup apps. I don’t need recording or storage. I will likely move to some self hosting/serve in the next year.
I am trying to be conscious of my purchases and who I am buying, and also take steps to protect my privacy. I have a few to buy so budget needs to not be on the higher end.
Thanks in advance
I’d recommend looking at used Nvidia Shields. They’re simply the best Android TV boxes available. There are pretty good instructions available to remove all the proprietary stuff from the devices, too.
