How to escape from surveillance when watching television? (lemmy.ml)

I currently use a large computer monitor as a television, and use a Google TV hdmi plugin to access content.

Rather than have Google selling all my personal data I would rather pay more for a privacy respecting alternative. Does something like the Vero V offer similar functionality, and if not what should I be using?

Ideally the solution should be family friendly using a remote to operate, and can access mainstream channels

Don't need to use a wireless mouse, could probablyget a Bluetooth remote and set up an app to launch on startup or an operating that supports it.

I've not used these as I just use plex on my android tv, but they sound like they might work and will probably try them at some point as the android part of the tv seems to be getting slower with every update:
