Want to stream Netflix? Disney+? Hulu?

You need to hook something up to a network, and another device would have similar risks.

Setting up a sandboxed VPC or auditing traffic is beyond the means of the average TV owner.

Another device might not give the free reign for all shitty malware like they do. Apple TV for one wouldn't.

Apple TV is the usual recommendation.

Do you think an Apple TV and a Walmart special TV have same risks? I don't. I give the Apple device my network credentials and the TV never sees them.
