Smarttube Next works great on my TV with FireTV. No ads.

Its the only way we can watch TV in our house.

Im just afraid that they might remove thr ability to install custom apks altogether.

Get rid of fireTV and get a true android TV like the nvidia shield. I'm sure there are others that are cheaper too.

Thats basically the plan eventually. Or just download the playlists that our toddler watches, since tv comes under his purview.

Also you can use a browser (I usually recommend Brave but I think the tide of opinion on them recently has turned?) that has adblocking built into it, navigate to youtube, and use that to cast to TV.
