Well, it’d just block internet access there. I wonder if it’s possible to push a root to an Apple TV

The Checkrain jailbreak [0] supports several Apple TVs, so I’d bet you could use use certbot to obtain a LetEncrypt [1] cert for it.

Of course, jailbreaking opens up other security issues, so it goes back to what you can tolerate.

I know that you can install iOS profiles onto the Apple TV, I have done this for 802.1x support, which included a CA root for the 802.1x controller.

I would imagine you can use this to push any certificate that you can also push to an iOS/iPadOS/macOS device.

This is what I was thinking about.
