Amazon fire stick sorted my parents' tv out when the built-in apps became unsupported. Could be a relatively cheap option with back friday around the corner...

Personally, I use TVs as a simple screen and watch everything through other devices (Roku, or a Linux PC running MythTV).
This would be my suggestion. Get a mini pc or dongle and use the TV simply as a display. Internet connected TVs are never well supported.
Also, highly suggest disconnecting the TV from the internet. They don't get security updates and they are notorious for spying on people's viewing habits.
