Tizen

Only problem, his television wasn't running Android.

It was running Samsung's Tizen operating system, their own...

Sound great? Only problem, his television wasn't running Android.

It was running Samsung's Tizen operating system.

But according to his account, Claude figured that out and asked for a webcam so it could see the screen.

He didn't have one.

on GitHub.

And I'm just sitting here with my Samsung Tizen TV from who knows when.

Yeah.

Unable to do anything.

I have not tried this yet.

But this is what people have been using.

This is what people used to get into the Tizen TV.

And I don't know if it's just a handful of skills or actual tools.

It started rolling out October 13th for DirecTV streaming customers on signature and genre plans.

First on Gemini and Roku with Android TV, Fire TV, Vizio, LG, Apple TV, and Samsung's Tizen coming later.

DirecTV has all the details if you want to know more about it.

But that's kind of what I've been waiting for.

So I'd love to try it.

Mine's not an Android one, though, unless it's Tizen.

I don't know.

You're Tizen OS on that Samsung TV, isn't it?

Yes, 2017, maybe something like that.

So, yeah, very cool.

So if I had an Android TV, I would have done this already.

Right now, they don't have a way to do this with the Samsung TVs that use the Tizen OS, which sucks.

So I'm in this Samsung proprietary OS.

But if you have a Google TV or a Google Fire or something like that that runs Android, you just go turn on the debugging settings and literally just hack it.

There's a...

What's

the one LG uses? Is it WebOS? Yeah, the only two that it won't work on that I know of for sure is Samsung TVs because they use Tizen OS and LG uses WebOS.

And those are the two it

Yeah.

Tizen just seems bad in every way you can imagine.

WebOS, forget about it.

Yeah, no thank you, sir.

Okay.

Um, Samsung uses, uh, Tizen, which is Samsung's proprietary television operating system, uh, at least last time I checked.

Um, and it's, like, the TV interface part, I'll actually say so many smart TVs are kind of using the same style of interface.

Like, you get a grid with either your channels or your shows that you're still watching.

The set of devices you have are different.

You've got a Tizen TV in one room, an LG TV angrily listening for you [laughs] in another room.

Like literally everything about a smart home is just a different edge case because every single, every person's house is different, and Apple is not great at that, right? They're like, "We will impose our will on you." I'm dying to know.

I'm, I'm, I'm so excited for this product, unless they call it the HomePod.
