I don't see Smart TVs as a good market for Firefox OS, Android is the obvious choice in this market. Generally, you'd want to target IoT devices where battery life/power draw is important but you still want a rich UI.

Consistent platform could be a decent benefit for the markets where Firefox OS makes sense though.

Current gen SmartTVs use Tizen (Samsung) and WebOS (LG), Chromecast (ChromeOS), Panasonic (FirefoxOS), Sony (Android), etc.
Fair enough.
Are there any Smart TVs shipping with Android? I don't think it is the obvious choice, there are tons of different systems used right now.
