It's easy for the misinformed to lump all these media boxes into one basket.
for ease of understanding, lets break these into two camps:
1. ANDROID TV boxes: as they're commonly referred to, sold by the hundreds on Amazon, Ebay, ect...= no name boxes with cellphone internals and custom GUI <-----where you're going to find hacked firmware. LTT tells you to stay away from this type.
2. GOOGLE TV, sometimes even found built in to television brands. NVidia Shield TV, Xiaomi Mi Box, this ONN media player, and a very few other = are licensed, they run actual Google Tv interface and apps are upgraded via the Play Store. Firmware also upgradable, unlike the former. Chances of running into spyware? not impossible, but often less likely.

"google tv sucks it doesn't support landscape mode when mobile app is cloned/converted to landscape, you are forced to use the mobile app & the downloader app doesn't work properly with google tv plus the ads are non-stop
spend the xtra $10 & buy the dynalink android tv box https://www.amazon.com/Dynalink-A...B08YYTVKGZ
its the exact same box as the original onn box just diff remote & everything works properly"
Haven't really done a deep dive into the reviews for the aforementioned box on Amazon. Wondering myself if Google TV is really a downgrade compared to Android TV. The downloader app not working properly and the non-stop ads on Google TV would be a problem.
I'm using an old Firestick 4k (2018) and it sucks not having the Google Play store. Lot of the APK's I install for lesser known Apps (using Downloader) either don't look right or just won't install.
It's too bad that it doesn't have a USB port for external storage but I'm not complaining, as these are well worth the price.

TL; DR - I can't recommend for or against either of them so use it at your own risk.

Or, why Android at all?
PC Stick and run EVERYTHING a pc can!
Intel etc makes them.
