I have an older Sony TV which has (what I can only guess to be) Google’s Android TV app installed on it. I’m sick of getting new recommendations from Amazon and Disney+ and all those services. Is there a way to strip it down bare bones and get everything I need from another app repo - kinda like with Graphene vs Android?
Basically, the only way is to disconnect the TV and use it as a dumb screen. Lineageos supports a few set top boxes (see here).
I heard (take it as hearsay) that some smart TV periodically capture screenshots of what’s on screen and upload it, so it actually disconnecting the tv from the network could (again, hearsay) make a real difference.
