anyone remember the XMBC project from twenty years ago? Rooting Xboxes and replacing the OS with a slick custom media player OS? I find it a little remarkable that there isn't a similar "scene" built around lobotomizing smart TVs. The desire is obviously there, and surely rooting Android isn't terribly hard. The OS's for smart TVs are barely maintained.
