I know nothing about hardware, but is there a world where an OpenWRT firmware for smart TVs is possible? Are there that many different chipsets and manufacturers?

There's a homebrew scene for WebOS TVs: https://www.webosbrew.org/ I don't know of any for Android, but rooting is quite common.

I have that on my LG tv but it's kinda pointless, it doesn't remove the adware from the home screen and hunting the ip addresses down it connects to is a pain in the ass so the tried and tested method was to not give it Internet access
