I’ve got a Sony android TV and it… Kinda sucks with the constant 'reccommended content’s (ads). Every update just adds more scrolling shit I don’t want to see.I want to know what different programs I can try out, and maybe a different os I can put on it. I’m looking at smarttubenext currently, and I want to know of other things I can use to customize my experience.

Any recommendations?

    Based on what I learned from another reply here, I was able to make my TV do exactly what I wanted. If you ever have to replace the dumb TV, I’m going to recommend getting an android TV just because it was so easy to remove the original OS.

    I know each android TV is a little bit different, so if it helps I’m running a Sony Bravia with android TV 11.

      Excellent! Glad you found what you wanted - I’ll bookmark this for when I have to replace my trusty Bravia! 👍

      Now, a Sony Bravia - what size and price may I ask ? And how difficult is it to remove all the shit ad functionality from it ?

      I’ve had my 32" for like 8 years but definately looking for the same quality piece of kit.

        65". Got it at Costco for around 600$ in 2021. I fought with the regular os after some updates about a year ago. Before that Google wasn’t shoving shit down my throat all day. I’ve been considering rooting it for a while, but finally got the motivation today.
