I like my Chromecast setup. I remapped the Netflix button to Plex, so I push that button on the remote and the TV turns on and goes straight to plex. The Google TV UI is “meh” at best, and also full of ads, so I avoid it.
Roku just keeps getting worse and worse. It is highly inadvisable to connect a smart TV to the internet, a separate streaming box is the way to go. If Apple TV/Chromecast/whatever completely goes to shit, one can simply get something else.

I just got used Apple TVs and replaced all the Rokus
It was directly because of the ads.
I like my Chromecast because it doesn’t have any UI. I hit “cast” on my phone and it goes.
You can load a different launcher onto a googleTV to get rid of the ads
I’ll look into it! I know so little about Android.
This is the one I use it works well enough except when it breaks but when it works no ads: https://projectivylauncher.com/index.html
Saved. When I get home I’m going to give this a go. I’d love to get away from Google’s launcher.
