Debloat the Turkcell TV+ 4K Box
Android TV 10 · 17 apps on the list · tested on a real set
This Turkcell operator streaming box is a Google-certified Android TV with a standard home screen. It ships with telemetry, log collection and factory test tools, recommendations, operator customisation and auto-installs, and a few preloaded apps. Each app has its own switch in the app, so you decide which ones to turn off.
It was tested on one box the same day, including several reboots. It is a streaming box with no HDMI-in or tuner. Each computer is accepted on screen with a debugging prompt, and sideloading works. TidyTV turns these apps off from your phone over Wi-Fi, saves a backup first and never deletes anything.
