      Is this really a strong commercial decision considering the number of Apple tv’s in the marketplace compared to the number of Samsung tv’s that SS isn’t considering providing an app for?

      @@PL-ev2mw Our goal is to bring Surfshark everywhere. Last year in 2023 Apple tvOS 17 was released which brought with it native VPN support for Apple TVs. Currently Surfshark is working on an app for Apple TV which is coming soon. If Samsung or any other TV manufacturer updates its OS to support VPNs we'll be sure to bring Surfshark there as well

      You can use other TVs but you would have to use either the router method or Windows PC to share the VPN connection to that TV. For older TVs that aren't running Android I would recommend plugging in an external media device like an Amazon Fire TV stick or Google Chromecast and setup the VPN on that device via Surfshark app, it's way easier
