i think a lot of those android tv boxes are locked down.
you can't do much with them and they reboot and put the original software
back on in some cases. i also have some android picture frames that are
locked down that way.  i was connecting to them via adb and they'd reboot or
fight it another way.  it was disappointing because i could really do
something with if i could change the software.

that being said i did have my computer die years ago and i used an android tv
as a desktop computer until my shipment came.
