Do you know an open source TV app for Android TV so Google cannot push its shit?
I basically gave up on finding a custom ROM for this TV so I'm looking for alternative TV apps to at least change the default app. Do you know if there is an app like this exist? It should work with satellite, I'm not looking for IPTV or streaming services, just something that supports plain satellite TV.
Edit: Currently experimenting with KODI, no luck yet though. If you also have suggestions regarding to it, I'm all ears.
Edit 2: KODI (and so Jellyfin, Plex etc.) needs a backend server for Live TV so add-ons alone won't work. According to KODI Wiki, currently there are no backends that work on Android. I also tried Google's older app called Live Channels but Google doesn't let you to run it because it's old more useful.
Edit 3: I at least blocked all of those ad streaming domains on my pi-hole. Here is the regex I added to my blacklist. Maybe it will be useful for another poor soul who bought TCL TV.

Idk if this helps, but I recently learned Plasma BigScreen is a thing.
Sadly it's unavailable while it is being re-worked, but I am really hoping it turns out to be good. It's not all too hard to find a cheap or free used/refurb PC that's good enough to play video on a TV
Sounds nice but does it work on Android, especially without a backend?
It won't work on Android, but you could probably replace Android or attach a mini PC.
Well, I need an all-in-one solution within this TV. Otherwise it's neat.
