I want my smart Android TV to be dumb again (www.androidauthority.com)

Smart TVs are all well and good, but when ad-focused update lobotomized my new-ish Android TV, we hit a problem.

Can you recommend a launcher for a smart tv?

I used Flauncher and button mapper to program my home button to open Flauncher. Worked well for me.

Same for me, now if I could only find a way to have it boot directly to f launcher, but so far I still have to see the home screen occasionally with all of its ad infested malware BS

You can try launcher manager and then the android tv version.

Or you can use the adb commands your self. You don't need root just developer mode.
