Onn needs a Google account. Fire stick requires an Amazon account. Apple tv, obviously an Apple account. PS5, Xbox all the same.
Is there a box that will let me stream Hulu, Netflix, Spotify, my own stored media?
Osmc is great for home stuff, but can’t do Hulu Netflix.
I could use a Linux PC, but not as simple as 1 remote for a cheaper box top.
Any suggestions? Or do I just get a Linux host
Nvidia Shield?
Edit: You dont have to use the Play Store on it, since you can side load.
I’d love a fairphone, pixle type android tv that I can root and remove all google services from. Shield is where it’s at, but it’s a bit old and even without Google it’s still going to be sending data to them.
Shield + lineageos seems like it would do the trick
You can root the Shield, and while it’s older, its more than capable. Better than many new devices.
shield is amazing. Chromecast worked until I tried the shield. sure 4x the cost, but damn it’s fast and upscales.
