The ideal software should take 45 seconds to crash after accidentally hitting the wrong button on your remote.

To be “fair”(?) it’s really more about the awful hardware they shove in even $1000 TVs than the software quality.

I will say it's both.

But hey, you have to give it to them, at least when it doesn't crash they do run pretty beefy 4K HDR video decoding on a ten year old dual core SBC. I'm surprised the whole thing doesn't spontaneously combust at random intervals.

I’m pretty sure they usually shell out the 2¢ needed for dedicated decoding chips.
