PSA: It is incredibly easy to get an alternative launcher for android TVs. Zero ads. Literally none.
Which do you use?
FLauncher. It's even on the Google play store.
Then you have to side load an app that changes the default launcher. But that is also very easy.
Thanks
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?
Sony is the easiest to change all the settings. Samsung is the worst.
I have no idea what a reddit controller is.
I think he meant to type "remote" instead of "reddit".
Ahhh. Then yes. Remote works the same. Change the default launcher to FLauncher and it automatically maps it to the home button.
100%, Reddit must have infiltrated my autocorrect after I fucked off here to Lemmy :)
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.
