You need an android TV or an android box similar to a Roku to use that? Not super familiar. Any recommendations to be compatible with my current non-smart TV?
I do have an old Chromecast and I use CastSponsorSkip, which runs on a raspberry pi on the same network. When there is an ad on YouTube, it mutes the sound and auto presses the skip button when it appears. There are still ads, but it makes them much more bearable. https://github.com/gabe565/CastSponsorSkip

Android streaming boxes are the most flexible. Replace the stock launcher with projectivy once set up.
Inexpensive/basic: Onn
Best for multi-speaker theaters and video upscaling: Nvidia Shield Pro
