Roku’s Moana 2 controversy is part of a bigger ad problem
Roku, Amazon, and practically every company in the streaming business are inventing new ways to make money off your data.

Android TV at least you can do simple custom launchers. I'm still hoping a more normal Linux becomes popular for TV. Hoping maybe SteamOS will be the pathway for that
Are there even any good launchers for Android TV? Last time I looked, everything I found was either abandoned so long ago that they don't work on modern devices or had such a scuffed UI that they were damn near unusable.
I like Flauncher or ProjectIvy. I'm using the latter on the living room TV and it works great.
Thanks, bookmarked your reply, I'll have to check those when I get the chance.
I'm new to this idea. Mainly I'm after the apk Sportsfire, but I'm starting to research how to set that up best I can for my boomer dad. He's a sports fiend but Canadian. Doesn't want to pay USA corps.
What's the best Android TV device that supports custom ROM or launchers? Making the GUI easy as possible to use without hampering my ability to install things is the balance I guess.
edit: I remember LTT did a video warning about the cheapest noname/phantom brand chinese Android TVs having compromised/suspicious or outright confirmed malware embedded in the kernel. So, being careful there.
The Onn 4K Pro is the best budget Android tv device right now. The launcher I recommend is called Projectivy.
Walmart USA only I think? So if the region lock prevents me from adding a custom ROM that won't work here.
I'll add Projectivy Launcher to whatever I buy tho, thanks.
Hmm, I’m not familiar with any region locks on these devices… Projectivy is available in the Google Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.projengmenu
DRM-laced streaming apps sadly makes that unlikely.
