Concentration2024
The chip inside a huge share of the world's Android TV boxes, streaming media players and budget smart TVs and set-top boxes is an Amlogic SoC. Most consumers have never heard of Amlogic, yet its processors power a large fraction of the streaming devices that deliver video to televisions globally. So the gateway between the internet and the TV — the streaming box, stick or built-in smart-TV platform — runs disproportionately on one fabless SoC maker (alongside MediaTek). The device that turns a "dumb" TV smart, or that you plug in to stream, is, at its silicon heart, very likely Amlogic. It's a concentration sitting at the entertainment-delivery layer of nearly every home, invisible behind dozens of streaming-box brands that all build on the same handful of media SoCs.

These streaming and set-top SoCs run internet-connected, always-on devices in the home that handle video, often with voice-remote microphones, and that run Android — making them, like robot vacuums, networked home devices whose security and software-update lifecycle matter for privacy. Cheap Android TV boxes built on these SoCs have repeatedly been found pre-loaded with malware or shipped without security updates, turning a streaming gadget into a potential foothold on the home network. So a media-SoC maker sits at the intersection of home entertainment and home cybersecurity, and the proliferation of cheap connected devices on a few common SoCs creates a broad, under-managed attack surface. The chip that streams your shows is also a permanently online computer in your living room — the same sensing/computing-versus-security dual-use the radar keeps surfacing, here in the most innocuous-seeming device of all.
