Is there a way to de-google a smart TV? (feddit.org)

I have an older Sony TV which has (what I can only guess to be) Google's Android TV app installed on it. I'm sick of getting new recommendations from Amazon and Disney+ and all those services. Is there a way to strip it down bare bones and get everything I need from another app repo - kinda like with Graphene vs Android?

this appear to however only be a frontend ui and doesn't change anything on the data collection / OS right? still - looks very cool, will definitely check it out.

I installed projectivy on my android tv and it's great. Just a simple dashboard that only shows the things I put there.
