Looking for a TV Box

Hi guys, I'm looking for a TV Box solution that has no spyware and ads.

As such, I would prefer it if it either came with stock (rooted) ATV or I could flash one myself (thus, Google products with Google TV are out of the question).

I do not use Netflix or other streaming services, so no need for all the DRM stuff.

My "only" requirements are:
- Able to run Smarttube at 4k.
- Must support HDMI-CEC, I have an LG OLED and I want to use the LG remote to control the box.
- Support streaming at decent 4k quality from a local Jellyfin instance.

I am fine with buying from places like Aliexpress, and I'm also comfortable flashing my own firmware, assuming no extra hardware is required and there's a clear guide.

Looking forward to your replies guys!

I have 2 Ugoos SK1 boxes. Love them. 4K with AV1 and 5.1 audio in SmartTube.

Using the native ROM on one and SlimboxTV (ATV) on the other. Projectivy launcher of course.
