Can I install android tv on a tv without having to buy a tv stick or box?

Question

Hello, fellow Redditors! So as you can see on the heading, I need to know whether you can install android tv on a smart tv as the current os on my tv isn't good. Any ideas or answers? I am not sure what model my tv is but it is a Nikai 55 Tv (crappy tv yeah I know)

Absolutely no. You can't just flash any operating system on random hardware. It's not so simple.

It's impossible; and even if you could, your tv probably doesn't have hardware that supports it. Best alternative is simply buy Google TV; life changer. The money you saved from this TV could be used towards an Android TV device.
