Verso 4K+ is good, there is a new one as well that supports av1, but it’s not that cheap.

Well Walmart sells TV boxes for like $20. I'm just waiting for custom ROMs
Maybe. The newest Rpi can I believe.
Raspberry pi's are never worth it compared to most other things.
Agreed. But, my old 3B is still kickin so I won't be too harsh.
The 3B was like peak RPi though. Nowadays unless you need the GPIO or the low power or form factor, it’s not worth it at all. You can get low-spec 3-5 year old off-lease office desktops for roughly the same price point as a top end RPi now, and they are commonplace and easily found in the secondary market.
Hell I just bought a really clean Ryzen 5 3500 laptop for $200. Only had 8GB mem and a paltry NVMe but these are cheap upgrades if needed.
And those mini desktops generally idle within a few watts of the later RPi.
For remuxes, from all cheap tv boxes i have tested all of them have some issues. only shield pro 2019 give me peace of mind. The only bad thing is it can't with av1.
For privacy, you can bypass google account and debloat all google spyware, for apps aurora store and sideload are your friends.
I'm currently looking into Plasma Bigscreen as a desktop environment for an open source smart TV, it looks promising.
Thanks, this looks really interesting
I was looking at the $20 onn from walmart but it doesnt have a fucking usb port
