Dodgy boxes have been a massive thing here, and there’s so much fearmongering in the news about how they’ll steal your internet, bank details and firstborn child, when they’re literally just amazon firesticks with some apks on them.
i mean it’s partially true… many of those weird android tv boxes have spyware loaded onto them, mostly for botnet/residential proxies and sometimes infostealers.
All the public iptv things for british/irish channels get aggressively taken down by sky (company), so it’s probably more sustainable for these to exist this way.

I don’t doubt that, but these are just firesticks. They’re not even rooted.
If I were to deploy one on my network it would certainly be isolated on its own VLAN.
