i tried using a linux machine with plasma bigscreen but it just wasn't for me, and I kinda miss my chromecast's simplicity. So is there any streaming box or whatever that's decently easy to set up and also respects my privacy? I know that it's basically impossible but I just want to know what the best option is. Also I'm in europe so no Onn. boxes and stuff. I would also like it to be second hand since the prices are a bit better

thank guy i love drew gooden

If the living room remote control experience is needed, flirc and a skip remote is great too. Used that for years with kodi.
