A better TV OS was my first thought too. My Samsung frame's OS makes it incomprehensibly difficult to do what I want it to do because all the icons for unrelated shit (basically icon ads) get in the way. I can't imagine how they think this is a good design either... "Ooooh, they accidentally clicked on ShnoozleTV! We got 'em now! Let the pennies roll in! ...shit, they went back to the home screen."
It's one I've thought about myself too, but I think it'd be a hard sell to manufacturers. I wonder if there's anyone who makes white label TVs you could flash your own OS on and sell
Or, better yet, no OS at all and turn it into a straight-up display panel.
