Hello! Ive had my LG Smart TV for almost 2 years now and i have some issues with it. Apart from the obvious data collection and shady opt-out “do not sell my data” settings theres just a bunch of other magical issues with Jellyfin, WebOS and their apps that annoy me.

Does anyone have any alternative Smart TV OS, tips or tricks? Would love to run another OS entirely that is privacy friendly but I dont even know if its possible.

      Interesting. Doesn’t look like that brand is available outside North America, but maybe there is hope?

        Someone had mentioned they contacted one of the majors and said his wife was on dialysis and a heart machine, could they give him instructions to disable the wifi on the TV and they did, with the caveat that it was a permanent thing. So you could try that with a regular smart TV if you can’t get these.
