Flash Different Software On Your Smart TV

Hi
Just a quick question, but with all the new 'smart' tv on the market, is it possible. Once rooted (Like with samygo.tv or other software like this) to flash software not intended for the TV?
So If i Have a samsung smart tv with Internet @ TV Could i go in and flash google TV onto my samsung tv?
Would this be possible?
Thanks,
Theo.
I know that with the google TV boxes no, now there are smart boxes running Android, kinda like a knockoff.

Hisense 43A6G And Android smart tv s in general... (My first post here)

I own a CHANNEL MASTER Android set top box. I bought the thing so that I can continue to enjoy Over The Air free ATSC broadcast tv. The CHANNEL MASTER via GOOGLE's LIVE CHANNELS app lets me view,schedule and DVR.
I buy an ANDROID Tv with the hope to plug in my antenna and a formatted USB harddrive and use LIVE CHANNELS app to do the same. I read somewhere that some European models (Phillips) allow OTA, dvr and provide EPG. LIVE CHANNELS app on my HISENSE 43A6G (a native GOOGLE app) does nothing !! No EPG No DVR option !!
Can someone here point me to how to MOD the LIVE CHANNELS app to enable these options. Has anyone even considered this ? I seems obvious that an ANTENNA tv should at least provide EPG.
It's next to unbelievable that any ANDROID smart tv with LIVE CHANNELS app lacks OTA dvr and EPG capabilities !!
Android TV puts a focus on helping you discover the content you can enjoy on your TV, whether it's through one of your subscription services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or Google Play Music, or from your own personal media collection via media center software like Plex.

Not an answer to my question.
Find a copy of the app from the euro TV and install it.

[CLOSED]Does Andtroid TV update affect SmartTubeNext?

I have a Xiaomi TV box and see that there is a new Android update. Before install it, does anyone know if it would affect SmartTubeNext in any negative way?
no
SmartTubeNext is an advanced YouTube app for Android TVs and TV boxes, free & open source. Android TV does not affect it at all, You can easily cast it on your Android TV-
Open SmartTubeNext and go to settings.
go to "link devices" (2nd option)
Open your YouTube app on your phone, go to settings > watch on TV.
Click on connect using TV-code and enter the code from your TV.

Haayot T95Z Plus android tv box

Yesterday I received my android tv box from AliExpress.
Because I wanted a recent I ordered the Haayat T95Z android TV Box (android 12).
The most of it works fine but I thought every android tv box can be used as a cast receiver. But not this one.
After some research I found out there was no Google cast receiver in the system apps.
So it seems there's no android TV on but just Android.
Preinstalled apps include Airscreen and if I turn this on I can cast to it but only photos and no Videos.
I tried castreceiver but no luck for videos.
I could find and install Google cast receiver from June 2022 but there is no interface for this app and it is not enough to install it to let it act as cast receiver.
Now I wonder if all of these T95Z plus boxes share the same problem and if there are custom roms you can install and those custom roms come with android TV.
Or are there apps to implement google cast receiver with support for videos.
Can anybody help?
