Got you, I'm screwed because I have a smart tv. I didn't realize that they could all talk to each other. I didn't care if they saw what I watched, I do care if they can get on my laptop or phone.

They might not necessarily get on your laptop or phone (to be honest they probably can't), but there is a risk they can.

I would strongly recommend using the TV purely as a HDMI output device and not using the "smart" functions of the TV. Buy yourself a Raspberry Pi (it will cost less than $100 out of pocket even if you go overboard) and set up a media server with say Kodi or Jellyfin. PM me if you feel like it and I will point you in the right direction (good forums where people will help you and answer intro questions without being annoying).

Thanks again. If I get a breather this summer, I'll look to you for direction to the right forums.
