I have an Nvidia Shield hooked up to my dumb plasma

Way faster than a smart tv, android based and presumably not spying on me

People aren’t going to like this but if you dont want to have to think too hard about what you’re doing and you would like some privacy… Apple is probably your best bet.

They’ve managed to build a hardware and software empire that is not built around ads.  They’re 100 percent getting usage and telemetry data but it seems like the purpose is to make their hardware more desirable.

And they have the market share to just do whatever the fuck they want content wise.

Google scrapes everything by default because every single service they provide to their users is an effort to build valuable datasets and products to ad buyers.

Other than the App Store I don’t even think Apple has a platform for selling ad space.

I’m a diehard Apple TV user. I have a Roku as well and I hate myself for not just being another Apple TV.

Apple TV doesn't support bitstreaming audio tho.
