I can help out with some of this@wakeupnd. Already spend a lot of time researching over there. I would also caution against putting too much time into Yourbanned, vs the others. Seen way too many channels get deleted, to never return. It is an excellent idea to branch out, though. We should significantly step up efforts to look for and support the best alternatives and encourage Dtube to become equally available on Smart TVs and devices.

Have a project in the works that you may find useful for your project, @wakeupnd. Will be in touch.
