Please re-read my reply. No one called you alarmist. It's the advice in this thread that is alarmist. Big difference.

In what universe is it dangerous to hook a smartTV to the Internet, but using a Roku is safe?

Thinking Roku is safer than a smart TV is completely unfounded and a good example why the advice y'all are giving is antithetical to true security and privacy.
