Sanity_in_Moderation @lemmy.world PSA: It is incredibly easy to get an alternative launcher for android TVs. Zero ads. Literally none.

Which do you use?

Then you have to side load an app that changes the default launcher. But that is also very easy.

What android TV would you recommend? Even with an alt launcher, can you still control OS/apps well with just a remote controller as input?
1 0 ReplySanity_in_Moderation @lemmy.world Sony is the easiest to change all the settings. Samsung is the worst.
I have no idea what a reddit controller is.

4 0 ReplySanity_in_Moderation @lemmy.world Ahhh. Then yes. Remote works the same. Change the default launcher to FLauncher and it automatically maps it to the home button.

skyspydude1 @lemmy.world I've had a good experience with my Sony. Very easy to change things and sideload stuff.

I like my Philips, it's got the cool ambilight and runs android TV. I think they lag slightly behind LG in performance but these don't have either of those things.
