 "title": "Install an ad-free home screen on Google TV with Claude Code",
 "page_title": "How to install an ad-free home screen on Google TV with Claude Code with Free My TV",
 "summary": "Let Claude Code build Free My TV and install it on a Google TV or Android TV in about ten minutes.",
 "who": "A household member with a Google TV or Android TV who is tired of sponsored rows and banners on the home screen and can follow simple setup steps.",
 "problem": "The stock home screen shows ads, sponsored rows and autoplaying promos, and the TV's default setup is hard to change without tools.",
 "outcome": "Free My TV becomes the home screen, shows trending picks from your own apps and the weather, and the stock home screen can be restored with one button.",
 "steps": [
  "On the TV, turn on developer mode: Settings → System → About → press Android TV OS build 7 times, then Settings → System → Developer options → turn on USB debugging. Write down the TV's IP address from Settings → Network & Internet.",
  "On your computer, run `git clone https://github.com/simbasjungles/free-my-tv && cd free-my-tv`",
  "Open Claude Code in that folder and say: Install Free My TV on my TV at 192.168.1.50. I live in Lisbon. Swap in your TV's IP and your city.",
  "Let Claude Code install the tools, build the app and put it on the TV.",
  "On the TV, open Free My TV → Home Screen → Free My TV, and accept the debugging prompt (tick Always allow)."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the free-my-tv repo, install Free My TV on the TV at <TV_IP> for the city <CITY>, following the Install section of README.md. Expected output: the app is built as FreeMyTV.apk and installed on the TV with adb. Verify by checking that the TV's Home Screen setting offers Free My TV after the install.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The TV must have USB debugging turned on and the computer must stay on the same Wi-Fi during setup, and the README says it does not listen to the network once installed.",

 "lang": "java",
 "requirements": [
  "A Google TV or Android TV (Android 9 or newer), an LG TV (webOS 3 or newer), or a Samsung TV from 2017 or newer (Tizen 3+)",
  "A computer on the same Wi-Fi as the TV",
  "Developer mode enabled on the TV, with the TV's IP address written down",
  "Claude Code, or for the manual route a JDK 17+, the Android SDK command-line tools and adb"
