The Hisense h9g used faulty memory that caused the main board to fail if too many writes occured. The best way to prevent this was to disable the internet, not use on board apps and use a streaming device.
For the Samsung s90b, the company apparently sent out firmware updates that lowered the brightness of the TV. So to prevent an update for those who did not receive it, you would keep the TV off the internet, unable to use onboard apps, so you need a third party device.
I have an s90c that I do not want nerfed, so I use a fire stick on it and others on avs forums do the same with other streaming devices. I also have 2 h9gs that I keep off the internet.
I use a streaming device on my ust projector, the on board apps are laggy compared to a streaming device.
Another use case is that Samsung store does not have a larger app library compared to Google or the TV is not able to run certain apps.
I use an onn streaming box on one of my TV's that has Google TV on it. I can run emulators up to Dreamcast with the onn box, my TV is not able to do that.

The real test was Paramount Plus. It would crash or wouldn't run at all on non-4k sticks and 1st Gen Cubes. The price difference for the 4K isn't that bad during these sales and will save you a lot of time.
I have not tried Vudu.
We now switch to Roku to watch P+

Thanks in advance
If you are getting the Tv cube , it will take an extra $20 off
I can never get instant upgrade discount, so I have to complete the trade in before these sale events because the 20 % off upgrade is for future orders . So it's best to start and complete your trade in 1 months or 2 before big sales events.

My router does not seem to have VPN settings or options when I went through the admin stuff and the manual. I imagine my ISP-provided router is that way on purpose (Zyxel EMG3415-B10A).
Why would the Roku stick work fine with Paramount+, when Firestick doesn't if ipv6 was the issue?
P.S. I am not a networking guru at all.
