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.
shield is amazing. Chromecast worked until I tried the shield. sure 4x the cost, but damn it’s fast and upscales.
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.
