Also.... How does URL loader work when only input device is a tv remote? How do I input letters?

I think Sony have been sold a 1990's turkey and Sony customers looking for a 'smart' tv are going to be returning sony hardware back and buying other smart platforms. This hasnt been tested by the people that built it.

How can I remove Opera TV store and install a proper browser? Is it Linux based? When will it compete with Android, Linux, Apple or Raspberry? Why has it even been given release candidacy?

Sorry, but it really is rubbish. The tv is fine but it certainly is not "smart" while in its current state dont want to have to run extra hardware through the hdmi sockets to achieve a worthwhile interactive online experience.

Wish Id not bought this tv (Sony Bravia KDL- 48WD65) as the Opera TV store is dire. If only Id saved and bought an Android tv which I know has its problems as manufacturers place poor budget spec cpu's but at least it has usuable apps.

So my questions are - What OS are these tvs based on? Linux? If so, any ideas how to gain root or flash a decent distribution?

TV is still returnable but I'll give it a little grace if someone can tell me that Opera TV is in beta and better things are planned for it.
