Yeah it seems so. It sucks that it's not possible to use it peacefully. I wouldn't disable the core functions as well. I once disabled the default file manager on a phone and learned surprisingly almost everything is tied to it. :)

That's what I'm talking about. I want to replace the default TV app, not the launcher. Though it seems the tuner is vendor locked so I won't find any alternative most likely. And the easiest thing is to get a separate satellite box and plug it into HDMI and use that instead of the built-in one. That launcher manager works great though.

I checked both apps and all I got is this:

Which is just a launcher where I place shortcuts. I put the TV app on it to show. If there is an app inside this to replace it, I'd like to hear. However I couldn't find anything like that.

I checked it but it's just a launcher that changes the UI, it doesn't replace the default TV app.

Yeah, it is. To be honest, I lost hope for all-in-one solution. Currently the cheapest option seems to be get an HDMI satellite tuner and plug it in one the of the HDMI ports and use that as a TV source instead of the built-in one.

Thank you! If I find an app solution instead of this, I'll edit my post. I can also try installing a backend for DVB-S on the network and connect the TV and use KODI but apparently that also requires a separate tuner, so the previous one seems easier.

Not sure when we'll fed up but I'll keep this in mind, barely 2 years passed with this TV.

Pontifex, anyone?

I wish I could get those Linux ISOs through satellite tuner.

I would install LineageOS if it was possible, there are no ROMs. I'm not even sure if the bootloader is unlockable.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

It's great and already installed.

Not exactly like that but there are 20K+ ad TVs in the same list with the satellite ones which has only 400 channels. It is possible to switch to satellite only list but it always reverts so you have to do this every time. So I need either a separate app or the modified version of this current one. However it's possible that TV producers most likely don't open their SDKs so no one can create an app without reverse engineering.

Exactly. The DVB-S tuner is included in the TV. There is indeed input switch that includes HDMI 1,2,3 and AV and yet they made the TV input only accessible through an app.
