It's funny how the pre-defined crap in the remote and the start screen did a lot in pushing me away from Android TV and into doing my own solution with a Mini-PC and Linux.

Oh, and it has a remote too: one of these

Are these apps good, never heard of them.

Yeah. Stremio is basically streaming whatever you want. There's loads of plugins to choose from, but obviously Torrent.io is the most popular...then probably PornHub. I have some live sports sources like the NHL and Formula 1 added in too. Everything stacks into shelves like any other streaming app.

SmartTube is YouTube. Even though you could also just have that in Stremio too, I like it separate. Built-in adblocking, auto-skip sponsor stuff or like and ubscribe speels. Has a lot of awesome settings and modes that makes it so much better than the YT app in general.

Both are APKs you can download with the TV browser.
