For this TV there are 5 steps. Together they switch off 18 things you do not need, and leave 15 services alone that the TV needs to work. Nothing is deleted, and every step can be undone. The list comes from owners who tested it on their own TVs; we have not re-tested it on yours.
What the first step does
Step 1: TPV / Philips telemetry
Stops the TV reporting back to the maker and to advertisers.
- "DAC" analytics uploader, as on the 50PUS8517

org.droidtv.gel - persistent TPV logger: GET_TOP_ACTIVITY_INFO, EPG read, boot receiver
org.droidtv.tv.frameworklogger - TPV "CMS client" 0.6.04_ad: INTERNET, boot receiver, channel/EPG write
com.tpv.xmic.ots.cms.client
The rest of the guide
- Step 2: Philips content, store and demo
- Step 3: Google recommendations, ambient mode and casting
- Step 4: Google apps this owner does not use
- Step 5: Preinstalled streaming apps, off by the owner's choice
- What is left alone, the Mac and Windows files, the undo files and the testers' notes
