Seiki 65" Smart TV Disable OS?

dmbminaret on 26/02/2021 - 21:54

I bought this TV from Target on this deal:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/567423

It's OK, but I have a chromecast with Google TV hooked to it and whenever it comes from standby, the bloody smart TV OS is showing until I pick up the native remote and press exit.

Real pain if I'm already seated with KFC all over my lap and remote is somewhere else.

I've been in contact with Ayonz who handle customer service for the brand, and they said to try a menu option for OSD time to set to off but there is only 15,10,5 & Always. Also I think this relates to OSD settings menu rather than smart OS menu.

I think I'm looking for a service menu which most TVs have like soniq, etc where you can change more advanced settings.

Googling I found MENU+000000 or something but doesn't work on this model so far. Soniq uses the same kind of thing but might be MENU+897564 (for example).

Does anyone have any clue please? Cheers.

I'm interested in this too, I contacted Ayonz for a similar request but I never got a reply from them so you're at least one step ahead!

Maybe just go with picking up remote and press exit BEFORE sitting down to watch?

like how lazy can we get , first it was not getting up to walk to old sets to change channels, now its don't want to grab remote to do something 1st? :)

maybe hire a slave to use remote while you sit back and guts KFC? LOL

  I do (usually). I included the KFC scenario to portray to fellow ozbargainers the potential hardship of the given situation.

    Generic code that works on most cheap Chinese boards.
    
    I have had success with this code on multilpe branded smart TVs.

        @MS Paint: I work away, so waiting for wife to get home but it did work on my kogan. I wondered for a bit if that was just for dumb TVs, but you did mention smart in your previous comment.

        @dmbminaret: Definitely works on smart TVs. I did exactly as per your OP to change the startup display on out TV (except I prefer HJs 😁)

        @MS Paint: Awesome. Was that seiki or something else?
        
        I share the love with HJs too, don't worry.
