      I do appreciat the fact that sony TVs have native android, the TV menues are also more intuative IMO

      Though regardless of the TVs OS, its best to not plug a TV directly into the internet. If you can afford it, get a dedicated android box, fire stick, or any other smart dongle you can afford.

      TVs, your kitchen fridge, or even cars now seem to be a privacy nightmare. Updates also dont happen often enough or the manufacture chooses to drop support leaving consumers home networks at risk.

        Wouldn’t the android box, fire stick connecting the internet be doing the same thing that you don’t want your smart TV to be doing?

        I always always thought getting one of those was to either circumvent the TV OS limitation (Example LG webOS) or to improve user experience on entry level smart TV or older smart TV.
