I currently use a large computer monitor as a television, and use a Google TV hdmi plugin to access content.
Rather than have Google selling all my personal data I would rather pay more for a privacy respecting alternative. Does something like the Vero V offer similar functionality, and if not what should I be using?
Ideally the solution should be family friendly using a remote to operate, and can access mainstream channels
if you want a pragmatic answer, apple tv with emby or jellyfin+infuse works for me. not saying apple is perfect but at least their business model is not 100% dependent on monetizing your data and targeted ads.
