Can you buy a TV based on the same basic functions like you list there?

Maybe a USB DVB-T adapter plugged into a laptop or phone is about as close as you can get now.

Or an older set top box, but not so old that it can't handle MP4.

Get a "smart" TV, never connect it to the internet, and attach a Chromecast and connect that instead because they cost about $30. The Chromecast with Google TV has apps for Kodi and Plex along with the basic streaming services so you can turn your TV into a media center.

That way, the only thing that will stop being unsupported is the Chromecast and you're only out $30.
