The worst part of the whole smart TV, is that we need the darn OS even if we just want to use one external device (at least in my TCL)
Even if you do not use googleTV and it was never connected to the internet the OS always boots up first, this means that if for some reason the OS fails to boot or whatever hard drive it has fails pufff no more TV for you.
**The annoying lazy habit of delegating to the OS what the firmware should do**
