Frequently asked questions
How do I remove ads from a Sony TV?
Switch off the Sony promo, recommendation and tracking packages over adb for your exact model, and keep the packages that run the tuner, HDMI and remote. Our packs list both for each model.
Is it safe to disable Sony system apps?
It is safe when you disable only what the list names and test after each group. Disabling is reversible; uninstalling is not, so we never recommend it.
Will a Sony firmware update undo the changes?
Sometimes. A firmware update can switch disabled packages back on. Rerun the same commands after an update; the pack is a list you can reuse.
Does this work on every Sony TV?
Only on Sony sets running Android TV or Google TV. We list 37 models; if yours is missing, the closest model on the same platform is often similar, but check the keep list carefully.
