There is nothing to remove here
This television runs Smart Hub (Orsay), a closed system from the manufacturer. It has no package manager and no debugging interface, so nothing we document will work on it. It is not that we have not looked: there is no door.
What you can do with a set like this:
- Filter the advertising and the telemetry at the router, which works on any television because it does not depend on its software.
- Leave it as a screen and put the clever parts in an external device over HDMI. The panel is still good; the software is what aged.
- Go through its own privacy and advertising options, which are usually buried but do exist.
