l'm sure it has something to do with the fact that the hardware specs on a consumer television are not exactly "beastly" in any kind of performance sense, but unless I clear the "Sony Shelf" apps cache when it maxes out, the TV feels pretty laggy.

A trip through the task manager shows an absurd amount of bloat I can do nothing to remove essentially, and any cursory search for custom, modified ROMs, or even just an experience of the operating software that gives the user more control overall seems to yield very little.

Does anyone happen to have links or resources I could make use of in the way of, perhaps custom, debloated ROMS or rooting the TV and using Titanium Backup, or a similar program to remove or freeze the offending apps?

Admittedly, I've only had time to cursorily search for this info, so Im probably just missing some phrases, or not looking on the second page of the google search, but it also looks like there may not be as much of a community surrounding this type of activity on Android TV's. Either that, or there are technical limitations (digital fuses, hardware checks, etc.) surrounding the activity that I just haven't had the occasion to uncover in my limited research.

Thanks in advance!
