        It does feel a shame to have a processor on a tv that isn’t used for anything, also it’s likely collecting data anyways even if you are only using hdmi

        And Kodi’s ui is genuinely dogshit

    Google TV? Google TV doesn’t need debloating. It was killed off in 2014, back when Google still made good things. Current devices run Android TV.

      That’s a pretty pedantic comment. Yes, google changed the name but you still know what this is referring to.

        I had to look it up. I have never heard the operating system called Google TV, and I stopped using my Android TV once Google started ruining the UI with what I guess is called Google TV in some branding. I tried for a while with a different launcher, but it never really worked well, and it was an aging unit that had other problems unrelated to ads taking over my TV.
