I'd probably opt for an external streaming box and simply use the TV as a monitor instead of the whole system (as it was originally)

That’s what I’m planning to do and curious if Apple TV box is a good option. Fire stick is riddled with ads. Not sure about Roku and Apple TV.

No matter how you feel about Apple in general, Apple TV boxes are really the only way to go these days. Everything else is designed to aggressive sell to you whether you like it or not.

It's either that or use something like a Raspberry Pi and settle for websites, which also have a habit of streaming you lower-quality content.
