Looking for what I can do with my android TV (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've got a Sony android TV and it... Kinda sucks with the constant 'reccommended content's (ads). Every update just adds more scrolling shit I don't want to see.I want to know what different programs I can try out, and maybe a different os I can put on it. I'm looking at smarttubenext currently, and I want to know of other things I can use to customize my experience.

Any recommendations?

Thanks for the answer. I might give it a try soon.

It’s a shame you can’t just format the TV and put some Linux distribution on it.

But I guess a lot of TV’s wouldn’t work afterwards and it would be more difficult to fix than a normal computer.

I believe that's exactly the case with most of them, which is why I wanted an android in the first place. It's a known architecture.
