As everyone is saying: just don't let it on the network. It's a little annoying because you can't have smart home stuff like "turn off the TV when I leave the house" working, but that's it. My thing is, don't use an Apple TV. For the last 15 years or so I've just used a Mac Mini plugged into a big TV, and it's perfect. Get a wireless keyboard and trackpad and one of the many available trays that will hold them together. I'm literally typing this right now on this exact setup. | ||

Better hope that no guest connects the TV to their phone hotspot to watch their Netflix like one user in a previous post reported happened to them. | ||

It should mostly work with HDMI CEC. My Android TV (Nvidia Shield) will turn my TV on and off. I only use the LG remote to adjust the volume although if you're using an AVR, it should do everything. | ||

I recommend turn off tv via home automation involving smart plug thingy, and tv set to turn on on each power cycle return | ||

you can let it on the network, just block it from leaving the network. Lets you have the remote control features but without the risk. | ||
