This is one of the reasons I’ve never connected my TV to the internet and I never will. I use a mini PC running Linux with a remote and wireless keyboard. It’s much more capable than whatever is built into a TV.

We have AppleTVs on every TV in the house and none of the TVs have ever been connected to the home network. Same with the rest of the extended family.

We also have a HDHomeRun in each house for those rare occasions when we want to watch Broadcast TV.

The only time a TV changes from HDMI1 is when someone wants to play PS or XBox.
