This website has piracy sites that works in almost any tv web browser: https://www.bestfreestreaming.org/ These work in web browser included into tvs like samsung. For android tv browsers i have found that https://heartive.pages.dev/ works the best. Internet archive also works in android tv browsers. I have not tried it in the browsers thats included into tvs tho

    “These work in web browser included into tvs like samsung”

    and

    “I have not tried it in the browsers thats included into tvs tho”

    Are contradictory statements.

    I haven’t had a TV in about 20 years, but from what I understand they are all “smart” and need the internet these days. If I decided I wanted one, most certainly wouldn’t want something that could go online.

    Now- I would love a nice 60 inch display to play my MS DOS games on though- that would be sweet!

      Yes, you need internet to use the “smart” features of the TV. No, you don’t need internet to just use the TV. You can connect any device that is supported by the ports on the TV, for example a Raspberry PI with a DOS emulator or for example an Apple TV to replace the “smart” part of the TV.

        That’s OK- I don’t think there is anything I want to see anyways. When my mom comes to visit I usually just get a VPN and spend some of the time together watching whatever new movies she knows about (that which I pirate for her) but I am rarely impressed with the stuff and usually just fall asleep. My last TV was the heavy kind it takes 2 people to lift. I sold it and my DVD player on craigslist for 5$ each- then went and spent the 10$ on pizza and breadsticks at little ceasars.
