This is why I don't plug an ethernet cable into my TVs or connect them to wifi.

I just connect an Apple TV to the HDMI and use that.

No tracking to worry about.

Paying for big brother, great glass but man. Just use a reputable android box, if you can afford it a mini PC.

Personally I never connected mine, I use an Android tv box that is segregated on a "garbage iot" vlan that can't see my other devices, behind adguard that blocks some of what it tries to phone home. Not perfect but lesser evil.

Blocking a few ads huh? why bother? You have WiFi in your home? they know bud period no rebuttal, block ur ads a feel private tho ....

I actually tried using an external device but the external streamer was so much worse, it actually started sharing my internet as an end point. Definitely not something you'd want to go in blind.
