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

The fact that there’s no way to force close an app is my real frustration.
I can’t even reboot my tv. I have to agree/disagree to the ToS to get it to actually restart.

I have a piece of shit Samsung TV that needs replacing. When an app crashes I found holding down the standby button for like 20 seconds and then turn it back on seems to kill the apps on the TV so I can reload them.

No idea if it’s a legit fix; but if not the placebo effect makes me feel better. Maybe other TVs could work the same way?

I have 2 LGs, there is no way anyone has found out how other than my method. There aren’t even physical power or menu buttons.
Just pull the plug at that point.
