For this TV there are 4 steps. Together they switch off 19 things you do not need, and leave 7 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: Sony demo and help

Switches off pre-installed apps and shop-demo leftovers.

  • retail demo mode com.sony.dtv.demo
  • Sony help tile com.sony.dtv.smarthelp
  • on-screen manual (IManual) com.sony.dtv.helpguidecontents

The rest of the guide

  • Step 2: Google leftovers a TV never needs
  • Step 3: Off by choice
  • Step 4: Launcher handover
  • What is left alone, the Mac and Windows files, the undo files and the testers' notes

$9.90 once unlocks every model. 7-day refund. Details
