I have an old school boob tube tv in my room, currently with a firestick running through a converter. It's fine i guess, but i want something else because 1, the aspect ratio is off since it expects to be hooked up to a flatscreen, and 2 the privacy problem of running something from amazon. Is there something that could work here?

If I was in your boat I'd probably do what you're doing right now, because I hate Roku's operating system. Long ago my family used this Roku for the same use case:

It's the Roku Roku Express+ 3910RW. Apparently it doesn't get updates anymore though so your mileage may vary with this thing.
