time to hook an old pc running linux up to that bad boy. while you're at it, maybe set up a NAS. they can't get to you on open source software!
Don't forget to disconnect that "smart" TV from the internet! It usually works for me to tell it to use a LAN connection and disconnect the LAN cable
if only there were a good 10-foot interface for Linux that supported the major streaming services
KDE Bigscreen
HDMI?

Steam big picture?
This is the way.
I've seen nas mentioned a couple of times what is that?
Network attached storage. A computer that hosts files, media in this case. You can roll your own or buy one, and they often have other server features.
Basically a home server.
I have a ~$100 tiny form factor dell computer attached to my TV. It was probably used in an office for 5 years before I got it from the dell outlet.
I installed Linux Mint and plugged it into my TV with a wireless keyboard and mouse. It was a painless experience and it works beautifully.
