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?

    An Android TV situation that you degoogle (you can remove a bunch of the Google tracking and ads via Android’s debug interface) would probably be better than either, and Android has EVERY app you can dream of. I’d suggest a linux box, but I assume you want a remote and I’ve never been able to swing a good remote situation on linux.
