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.
