I asked the same question some time ago. I now use an old laptop with libreelec on it. https://beehaw.org/post/15312388

Yes I use Kore now and it's great, but with a remote I can more easily give others control.

Sadly I can't really find any good dumb Tvs. Isn't a smart TV with disconnected internet just as good for privacy?

I have installed Kodi on my old laptop and added my Synology Nas as a source, so that I can stream media from there. I really don't wanna use a keyboard, so I'm probably going to buy a Bluetooth remote.

Thanks. I will try libreElec first and if I'm not happy with that I will try the Nvidia shield + LineageOS setup.

I think I will try Installing libreElec on my old laptop and see how that goes. I saw somewhere that the tv remote that the tv comes with might work because it sends the input through the HDMI. If that doesn't work do you think IR remotes are better than Bluetooth?

I was looking to buy a TV for my living room, but many people say that smart TVs are a privacy nightmare. I thought maybe I could buy a smart TV, disconnect it from the internet and plug in a raspberry pi or something. But I really don't want to control it with a mouse and keyboard. 😵

So do any of you know of any good privacy friendly TV setups? Or know which brands are the least privacy invasive? Thanks ☺️
