cill and I need to pull curtains closed behind it and

All the Roku boxes seem to use wireless ethernet and
seem to project out behind the set.
Annoyingly, my Samsung UE22H5600 has deleted the three Smart
Apps that I only ever use (sometimes).
Googling the problem shows many people with the same issue
and Samsung say TV's from 2014 backwards no longer support
these three catchup apps, but my TV was bought in 2017 and
it is a 2016 model.
Navigating to the VIDEO section under CATEGORIES is a huge
list of junk apps, including France24, Amazon Prime and Netflix
and lots more, plus iPlayer and BBC News but that's it.
Does anyone else have a Samsung TV that has done the same ?.
It's a few months since I tried to use My5 on this TV so I don't
know when they vanished.

A problem when half the set is software and half of that is on
third-party contracts which expire.
I wonder how much automotive software is third-party with a limited
contract length...

You can use an HDMI male to female extension cable to move the stick somewhere else, although there are lots in the 'box' form factor that
use regular HDMI cables and support ethernet. I think a regular
ethernet cable might be rather heavy for the 'stick' form factor.
There are many boxes available but most of the Android TV ones are
spying/ad infested Chinesium. The two I might recommend are the
Nvidia Shield devices and the Apple TV, although neither are that
cheap. One downside about Apple TVs is that they don't support
subtitles on iPlayer (a spat between the BBC and Apple) if that
bothers you.

Car SatNav (2017 Auris) is. So no updates at all.

Ours must be similar vintage, and it did updates that made the user
interface crap, with apps that didn't work.
We added a secondhand Humax HDR Fox-T2 which is great for standard
channels. We now have a Roku Express, which is a tiny box with an HDMI
cable. Stick it anywhere near (ours is on top). But it needs wireless.

main Sony TV. I have plugged in a 2.5 USB2 HD into it to record and it
has worked fine since 2012, but no longer supports iPlayer. Itried the
latest update but it has nasty side effects so reverted to the
final-minus-1 update.
The Roku express is on my list, apart from needing wireless (which I use anyway for my Smart phone and smart plugs).

Roku boxes use an HDMI cable.
Roku _sticks_ point in the direction of your HDMI socket. On my TV
that's sideways. You can always get a really short HDMI extender cable.
