I have been using an onn 4k streaming box, which runs Google TV. They're $20. It's pretty easy to disable the default launcher and have it boot to Flauncher. Then you can side load smart tube for an ad free YouTube experience asking with Plex, stremio, or whatever else you want to stream.
Any ideas for easy OTA on a Roku smart TV w/o using the built-in OS?
I've got a couple of those that I bought shortly after the LTT video, but I'm still using my Roku because I still haven't gotten around to jailbreaking and configuring them.
Do it. It's very easy, and then you can ditch the Roku. There's even an ADB app you can load to remove unwanted apps on-device.
