Sideload Channel Launcher is a pretty great launcher, but before you buy it, be aware of the dev's practices. They provide a short window of fixes for bugs (except v2 which had longer support) and then start work on the next version. They also typically don't add that many new features to each version (although v4 seems to have the most changes thus far). They also had several other launchers in the fast they they have de-listed.
It is the most customizable of the very few actively developed Android TV launchers, but be aware of what you are paying for. I 100% think devs should be paid for their work and not support a single purchase forever, but they should also be clear in their policies and make each new paid version actually a worthwhile change in features, not just a new purchase for minor fixes/features.
Edit: it's probably best to think of it as a $4.49/yr subscription but you can stop at any time and keep your latest version.

Only a few months of updates is shit. They should keep improving a single stack instead of new versions as a whole new app.
