I know Smart TV privacy concerns are a big conversation here, largely because there’s practically no good way to jailbreak a Smart TV, but I wanted to ask about a specific use case.

How much better is it to disable all network connectivity on a smart tv (running Roku as its core OS) and hook an Apple TV box up to it?

More or less, I suppose what I’m asking is whether or not using an Apple TV is as private as it can get with easy-to-use streaming devices?

    they do alot to protect user privacy (as far as we know)

    They do nearly nothing to so. Kuketz has analyzed what’s happening when turning some settings that are bad for privacy off. The result: Apple still phones home with respect to the disabled services.

    So please stop throwing wrong information
