I just use an Apple TV connected to my TV which isn’t connected to any network. I hook it up every now and again to update the software when there are new features available related to picture/sound.
I also run a Jellyfin server for most of my streaming needs.
- Apple TV most certainly collects information too...
- Do most smart TVs still allow performing updates via USB? I have an older LG TV which does this.
