For this TV there are 7 steps. Together they switch off 32 things you do not need, and leave 16 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: TP Vision telemetry, as in 50PUS8517
