I recently picked up a couple of Apple TV gen 3.1, and discovered you can't do a whole lot with them aside from cast from your phone these days. I can't solder for shit, so jailbreaks are out of the question for me, sadly. In the process of researching all this, however, I found a GitHub that will help you hijack the Redbull TV app that comes pre-installed to run IPTV through it. Anyone know of anything good I can look into further? I'm on disability and life is expensive 😭

I don't have an iPhone, or any other Apple devices aside from the two TV boxes, unfortunately. This house is a purely Linux/Android house lol That said, I definitely appreciate all this info, and may go digging for an android alternative, so this gives me an idea of what direction I can go in!

In that case, I recommend getting the Onn 4K Pro for 75 CAD and following the guide I wrote here. Same process with Stremio, except that it works better on Android, and you can also easily use YouTube ad-free with SmartTube.

There's cheaper Android devices out there, including cheaper versions of the Onn (Onn FHD for 39 CAD and Onn 4K for 53 CAD), though if possible, I recommend getting the 4K Plus for its higher specs if you decide to go this route.
