I have been using kodi but it just so limited and clunky. Android TV is better but that is a major challenge since Android TV is very tied to Google with not much existing outside of Google.

What I am looking for is a device that can work with mostly Jellyfin. I don’t use any streaming services. It would need to work flawlessly with a remote and I am looking for something that maintains itself mostly.

    I remember that roku TVs refuse working until you connect it to the internet. their values/intentions are clear, I wouldn’t give money to them

    edit: they also require registering a roku account

      Not true at all. Yes you do have to do an initial setup connected to the internet (and making a roku account), but after that you can disconnect it from the internet completely. It even looses its initial ad after a certain time.

        oh that was it, the account requirement was what I wanted to remember but couldn’t! was sure it was something even worse, thanks for the help.

        yeah if I would buy such a TV by accident, I would bring it back within the return period and tell that it was faulty, because it is.
