The solution that works for me. I use one of the old laptop/tablets that's lying around the house, plug it into the tv hdmi, buy one of the many bluetooth keyboards with a trackpad and use it as a remote. Advantages are that I don't buy any hardware, I know it works with any streaming service, I don't need a smart tv, I don't need to struggle typing in passwords and search terms using a tv remote. And, not once have I felt - oh I wish I had a roku or chromecast or whatever, and something would have been better.
