That's interesting. To your knowlege does the rooting/installation of this stuff break existing streaming apps, or are they not affected?

Does anyone know of anything equivalent for samsung? I have a QE65Q75T model which I feel gets more ads as the weeks go by, and I didn't know this type of things were possible

    That's something I'm looking, but I would also be able to personalize the UI of the TV, since it has a lot of clutter and things I am never going to use. Add to that the fact that some apps cannot be uninstalled and a tiny disk size, I would really like to "own" my tv more.

Many thanks for this. Rooting my LG TV with rootmy.tv took a few seconds and now I am enjoying YouTube without ads which Pihole was never able block properly.

  An alternative universal solution is to just VPN to India and then buy Premium for $1.66 USD per month (399 rs per quarter).

    I use youtube without an account a db login so not really a solution.

Do the homebrew apps obey the normal screen saver / burn-in protections? Eg, Netflix on the TV, when paused, will put up a fireworks screen saver very quickly. Will the homebrew youtube app do the same thing?

  Yes, the screensaver is part of the OS, not the app.
