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.
