  | I would go with a Roku.  Roku has the best way to get access to all the different channels.  We have the Roku ultimate from 2018.  Still going strong.  We got the Roku 1 years ago and it worked until I retired it several years ago.  Simple interface.  I went that route instead of using the apps on the smart tvs.  
  
I got the Roku 1 before there was a thought of the chromecast and google tv.  There are a lot of boxes that run google tv.  Some are cheap and some are a little more expensive but work better.  Never owned a chromecast or a google tv box.  Seems that the Roku comes out with the apps first.  
  
I think you answered your own question on whether google watches you. |  |
