Some good options already listed. But here's another.

Hey an Android TV box (Onn brand or similar) and install an open source launcher on it, like Projectivity. You have to use adb to disable the default launcher after the new launcher is installed, otherwise it keeps defaulting back to the default one. But once don't it's smooth sailing. You have a dedicated streaming device with a remote control and a nice UI with zero ads on the home screen.
