I use an Xbox aswell, since my TV has an open security hole that the manufacturer refuses to patch, and because it sends unspecified data and fetches updates over an unencrypted connection.

Mind you, the Xbox does just as much snooping, but at least the Xbox fetches updates over encrypted channels and doesn't let anyone on the same network have root access to the TV's linux installation.

True with the Xbox, bat at least imo MS is slitty more trustworthy with my data than Samsung. The tv was doing more network requests than the xbox and a few Apple devices combined.
