    From what I understand, TVs are incredibly customized and locked down by design. Not only that, they change very often and by the time you make a cracked firmware, the TV is no longer in production.

    Is it possible, yes. Is it worth your time? Probably not but hey I would love to see it be done! Imagine TCL seeing a sudden uptick in TV sales because someone found out how to remove the Roku from the Roku TV.

    I’d be first in line!
