Android TV is not free though.

You pay with yourself,
your interests / watch habits,
all being collected and sold to the best bidder for "personalized ads"..

What about a raspberry pi with lineageos as a tv box?

It depends on what you'll run on it.

LineageOS in itself is good/private.
However the GApps/GMS are not.

I'd recommend replacing GMS with MicroG if you need that for the apps you use,
which still talks to Google,
but in a minimal way.

YouTube isn't private either,
but Grayjay/NewPipe are.

You can put LineageOS on some of the Amlogic boxes and just don't install Google apps and stick to FOSS.

Ofc the most private way to view content is to sail the high seas, though.

Good, I don't care about ads anyway, barely an inconvenience
