I’ve got one! …but it’s only connected to a computer. All of our screens have computers connected. Computers that can install adblocking software and play videos are insanely cheap. I’m astounded anyone uses smart TVs’ rubbish software or a stick of any sort.
You can screen mirror pretty much any windows, iOS/macOS, or android machine through your network or Bluetooth for FREE
You can pick up casting stick USBs for the price of ONE month of youtube premium
You can just hook up a dinky little raspberry pie or something to your TV and not even need to cast. Lord knows all these Lemmy computer geeks have some tiny computer or laptop lying around
You can pick up some jailbroken smart TV device like a Roku and watch a LOT more than ad-free clickbait videos for the cost of two months of premium
You can place a PiHole or equivalent somewhere in your network
It’s actually braindead easy to just never see an ad from online content on your Tv
You can also use Apple TV which is hands down best streaming box, use ATV remote on your couch without faffing with computers and pay for good service that YouTube and content creators on YouTube provide.
It’s easy to avoid paying but the experience is just worse.
And if you’re really short on cash, subscribe from Argentina or India and pay ~$2.
Whoa, this looks awesome and I do have always on server for Usenet/Plex and Homebridge.
Thanks!
[edit] Installed and working great but I had to change os.exit() to sys.exit() in one of the files, looks like it’s not compatible with recent Python versions out of the box. Converted into system.d daemon, now working 24/7.
All of these options are unreasonable when you are talking a whole household and catering to a family that is not tech savvy. I have a pihole and it does not block ads from the YouTube TV app.
I have a plex going with content enough for the adults, but the kids consume so much media there is no reasonable way to get enough and fast enough and to meet their current interests. Youtube is the only streaming subscription we have left in the house because nothing even comes close for kids. Even Disney+ completely fumbles when it comes to appealing to what used to be its target market.
Unlock origin and ReVanced is great, but it doesn’t allow casting to the TV without ads…
That’s my secret, Cap. I don’t own a TV.

Smarttube Next works great on my TV with FireTV. No ads.
Its the only way we can watch TV in our house.
Im just afraid that they might remove thr ability to install custom apks altogether.
Get rid of fireTV and get a true android TV like the nvidia shield. I’m sure there are others that are cheaper too.
Does ReVanced still work? I know YouTube Vanced was killed a while back, but I think I tried ReVanced recently but couldn’t get it to work.
Works perfectly well.
With the root install method casting works too.
If only that was a real issue that mattered.

I am a big fan of isponsorblocktv which sits on a network device like a nas and skips YouTube sponsor segments on Apple TV.
