Gregory's Server@goldstein we used old laptops and a dumb TV for many years. This year we upgraded to a Raspberry Pi and a newer dumb tv. We stream via browser. Works fine for any streaming service we have tried. We only upgrade the hardware when it dies. I am not sure how much longer we can keep it up, but as long as we can manage it we will.

I have a 13 year old HD Samsung Smart TV which still runs like a dream but is too old to run anything other than HDMI cables to both my Apple TV and Kids' X-BOX. All the apps we need are on either or both devices. You do not have to subscribe the Apple TV's streaming platform it's just a good device for streaming TV, movies, etc. You can even stream from your phone to apple TV. |

Our kid got into Apple devices a few years ago, and my wife has an iphone, and at some point out of a ridiculous urge to shoot self in foot I bought an Apple TV. Anyways the kid had a family-level apple account so we had Apple TV for a while.
On the Apple devices, we could search AppleTV.
Yah.
