• I would be using it to watch jellyfin mostly, but also youtube (I’ve seen that smartube looks good) and netflix.
  • Security and privacy are priorities.
  • My budget is up to 50 dollars.

I’ve seen this one onn Android TV amazon link, is it any good?

I’m new to the android tv box world so any help is appreciated.

    Is there a good way to watch the streaming services on your TV without trusting either Google/Apple/Amazon to not spy on you with their hardware?

      You can use kodi on any old computer or a kodi device like Vero that uses OSMC. There are non official apps for most services. Some take a little time setting up, others just username and password. While kodi its self might not spy. The streaming services certainly still track what you watch.

      Probably not (For the major streaming platforms like Netflix / Hulu / etc).

      You’d have to sail the high seas.
