20minutos documents a viral practice in which users leverage AI agents (including Claude Code) together with ADB to identify and disable advertising, telemetry and factory-installed apps on Android TV and Google TV sets; the CleanYourTV project can also install alternate launchers, but authors advise reviewing code before running it because disabling system components can cause malfunctions.
