Clear answers before you start. Will this clean the physical screen?+ No. CleanYourTV is a software project for removing unwanted home-screen clutter and disabling selected preinstalled packages. It does not clean a physical TV screen. Does it remove ads inside YouTube or streaming apps?+ No. It targets supported manufacturer advertising, recommendations and preinstalled packages. Ads served inside streaming apps are a separate issue. Do I need to root my TV?+ The upstream workflow uses Android Debug Bridge (ADB), without rooting. You still need developer options, local network access and approval on the TV. Can I undo the changes?+ Upstream provides backup and restore tools. Keep the backup created for your own TV and review the recovery guide before changing anything. Does it work on Samsung, LG and Roku?+ The main Android workflow does not apply to Tizen, webOS or Roku OS. A brand name alone is not enough: check the operating system and exact model. Is this the official CleanYourTV website?+ No. This is an independent guide and model lookup. The official website is cleanyour.tv and the original repository is Gathin23/cleanyourtv on GitHub. ## Give your TV a little breathing room. [Find your TV](https://clean-your-tv.net/devices/)
