Nice write-up. Doesn't point 3. and 4. mean you're using a computer to watch TV?

Or would that be a 5th point: don't use a dedicated TV at all?

Does TV even require extra hardware anymore? AFAIK everything is streamed nowadays, incl. "classical" TV stations, no?

I have to admit I haven't actively watched actual TV for 20 years...

Anyhow, on a computer the situation is almost infinitely better since you can control what comes through the internet and what doesn't. Domain blocking is easy as pie (or HOSTS).
