I have an untrusted segment of my network I connect my tv to. If I streamed from something else, I would have to put that device also in an untrusted segment and dedicate it to that task but that means more time spent admining a device that no one is paying me to admin.

That way I can still use its inbuilt apps to play from my NAS, but it can't talk to outside.
