I have an amazing setup at home with Jellyfin and other self-hosted apps.

Now I'd like to get away from Roku and I think the easiest way to do that would likely be an unGoogled Android TV box.

Does anyone know of an UnGoogled Android TV box?

If not, any suggestions for an out of the box TV setup that will let me run Android or Roku without the spyware and ads?

Note that I don't want to build the hardware myself (been there, done that in my 20s), and I don't want to run plain Linux and use a web browser. I want to run apps (likely Android apps) on the TV using an out of the box remote, and connect to my Jellyfin and other home services).

Good call, but I don't want to start building devices.

Maybe someone clever will take this, put a nice little case around it, bundle a remote (bluetooth remote would be better than IR remote) and sell it. If they did, I'd buy one, but I don't want to build this myself.
