I have a hardkernel station m1 running android TV. You can set up with or without the play store, I did mine with. It's great. The main control is a remote from the couch.
It uses flauncher for the 10' UI and runs tivimate for iptv. I added a cheap nvme drive for dvr functionality. Other apps include stremio, YouTube, steam link, retroarch, vlc, etc.
Do streaming services still work with this setup?
You have the choice of whether or not to register with Google and use the play store. My wife and 5 year old require simplicity, so I registered.
Android TV is a little different than Android on a phone. Not every Android app is compatible, but most are. It's just like a chromecast.
So any play store app like Hulu, Netflix, Disney+ etc will work just fine, as will plex / jellyfin.
