FreeBSD for TV

[deadmorozz]

Hi,

Do you know about such a project?

You mean, a port to a smart TV? That would replace Android TV or some other OEM-supplied operating system? I'm afraid I haven't heard of that.

Just hookup a small PC or a Raspberry Pi with FreeBSD to your TV. Forget about running FreeBSD on a (smart) TV.

Proprietary hardware designed for a vendor specific OS? Not. sure what the gain would be, if even possible.

I probably my old Sony Bravia TV has some software component from BSD. I have seen some writing regarding license. I have not checked now. Obvious reason is cost. May be that was beginning of Android TV.
