How do you then get the software update, to fix buffer overflows while decoding the video stream?

(ok, most TV vendors won't bother to fix and most video sources ate somewhat trusatable not to exploit ... especially as an exploit can't do much unless it is connected to a network)

If you are using them at dumb displays, you aren't decoding video on them, you are sending them HDMI signals that were already decoded by your other thing.

Some of them allow updates via USB stick.

You could just update once in a while then unplug again.
