what can it do if the TV uses DoH, DoT, or something else similar? I expect that it can do nothing. unless the TV is on a separate vlan with very strictly only access to internal services

Don't connect it at all and just use an Android TV box or dongle.

well that's what I'm saying to the parent commenter

At that point I would expect control of it, or at least for it to respect the configuration it is given. If neither are true, then it just doesn't go online at all. If that's part of the main function, then I find an alternative or live without it.

Nothing on the inside should be sending anything to the outside that can't be inspected before it leaves, with the exception of stuff that is directly driven by a human (guests browsing, etc).
