I’ve considered an Apple TV! But we went with just tons of desktop computers instead. Every screen has a computer on it, so we can stream/torrent/do anything we want.

One is old and has one 80mm fan only. Phenom II, for reference. It’s LOUD. but it worked well enough.

We’re actually replacing that with an M2 Mac Mini next week. The cheap one, but with the dock w/internal SSD port (1TB=60USD) and an external HDD to back stuff up with. We don’t NEED that for just doing general computer tasks, but we DO something to manage our 120k-150k photos we have. And I hate to say it, but nothing comes close to iPhoto for sorting that many photos.
