Wild idea - if you’re concerned about ads, maybe don’t buy the streaming box or TV that puts permanent ads on its remotes.
People are not that smart.
Which ones don't?
I’ve had a bunch of streaming boxes and smart TVs, and my old AppleTV is the one I usually go back to. None are perfect, but it annoys me the least.
Maybe I should say which new ones haha. It's getting hard to find sadly.
~~Is there some sort of FOSS DIY thing you can make (or buy) that would function like a Roku/Chromecast stick for any TV with a USB port?~~
Er I guess a raspberry pi or similar micro computer could do it quite easily.
