A dumb TV that is just a monitor and your choice of STB. Our house has an AppleTV as HDMI1 on all devices and a HD HomeRun in the server rack to broadcast LiveTV over the network.
Other people have similar setups using Raspberry Pi’s running various HTPC packages, which I can recommend for those people who aren’t interested in Apple products.
No one should ever need to purchase a FireStick, Roku or Google Home thingy and no one should ever connect their TV directly to their Home Network.

As someone who hates Apple, I feel like you didn’t even read his comment.

JokeDeity, Thankyou for your support, despite our idealogical differences. This is why I love Lemmy and Mastodon over Reddit and others.
I personally don’t hate Apple, I do see a lot of things that are wrong with their platforms, but I don’t see solutions to these problems in other commercial platforms either , except for the open platforms.
