I’d imagine you could probably get into the android developer settings and disable all the telemetry stuff through adb and install a custom launcher like projectivity and that’d be the closest you could get to running a custom tv OS at least if you can’t flash it.
It’s better than dealing with whatever terrible nonsense they put on LGs and Samsungs. I was really close to getting an LG because everyone says it’s the best looking but I just couldn’t imagine going back to completely unmodifiable TV OS, so I got the Sony instead which still looks absolutely fantastic and I have my custom launcher on it set exactly how I want it.

That sounds, uh, fun.

Just use the TV as a display and try to dink around with some open source media player box if you want to create your own custom OS.
