 "page_title": "How to set up a family TV with a clean, ad-free home screen with Cleanyourtv",
 "summary": "Turn a sponsored-ad Android or Google TV into a clean home screen over Wi-Fi, with no root and nothing uninstalled.",
 "who": "A family tech helper whose parents or relatives have a TV that shows ads before Netflix and needs a simpler home screen.",
 "problem": "Manufacturer launchers push sponsored rows and ads ahead of the apps people actually open.",
 "outcome": "A TV with a black home screen, a dock of four chosen apps, and manufacturer bloat disabled rather than uninstalled.",
 "steps": [
  "On the TV, go to Settings, Device Preferences, About, press OK on Build seven times, then turn on USB debugging under Developer options.",
  "Keep the TV on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer.",
  "Paste PROMPT.md from the repo into Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI and fill in your TV model.",
  "Accept \"Allow USB debugging?\" on the TV, then answer the checklist about your apps, the four dock apps, the voice assistant, Chromecast and updates.",
  "Check the screenshots the assistant pulls from the TV and confirm the new home screen is the default."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the Gathin23/cleanyourtv repo as context, follow PROMPT.md for the TV model <tv-model> on the local Wi-Fi network. Back up the installed package list and settings, disable the manufacturer ad and telemetry packages with pm disable-user, and install the launcher as the default home screen. Expected output: a backup of the package list, a list of disabled packages, and confirmation that the launcher is the default home. Verify that no packages were uninstalled.",
