Honestly, my TV is connected to my AppleTV, and that is connected to the internet. I don't use any of the "smart" functionality of the TV. I don't even use the remote for anything.

Same. The only time my TV leaves HDMI3 is when I want to watch a Kraken game (local OTA subchannel that isn't on YoutubeTV) or Formula E (US broadcast rights are on Roku Channel which isn't available on AppleTV devices). I do have a Blu-Ray player on HDMI2 but I haven't used it in about a year.

We switch ours to OTA once a year for the thanksgiving parade, and use AppleTV the rest of the time.

This is the way.
