Developer turns a smart TV dumb, then smart again

Original: Show HN: Making a smart TV dumb and then smart

A developer has shared an open-source project that strips a smart TV of its built-in bloatware and then rebuilds it as a smarter, custom-controlled device. The project, called r2d2-tv, is hosted on GitHub and caught attention on Hacker News, drawing around 110 upvotes. It speaks to a wider frustration with ad-laden, locked-down smart TV software and growing interest in self-hosted home media setups.

Why now: Frustration with bloated smart TV software and interest in DIY open-source alternatives is currently popular among tech communities.
