@ -178,39 +178,20 @@ My google tv uses mediatek for alot of its software, and I think alot of Google
TVs do the same. If you have the same luck that I did you MAY have an
application hiddden in your tv called `com.mediatek.wwtv.tvcenter`. This
application will bring back a different input switcher that I like alot better then
the default included one. There are two things you can try to get this working
if your tv uses mediatek.
the default included one. It looks like this...
##### Option 1: Install from file
![New Input Switcher Menu](public/blog/tvinput.png)
I recommend trying option 2 first. If it doesnt work due to missing application
then try this option.
If your TV has the file on it but the app is not installed to your android
user you can try doing the following...
Try to find an file called 'LiveTV.apk' on your tv. Within adb shell run
```bash
adb shell find / -name "LiveTV.apk" 2>/dev/null
```
With luck you should find an apk on your tv with this name and the package name
of `com.mediatek.wwtv.tvcenter`. If you do run
```bash
adb shell pm install --user 0 <path to apk on tv>
```
If your tv does not have an apk you can try using the one from my tv hosted
[here](/public/blog/LiveTV.apk).
##### Option 2: Install from package manager
Run the following commands
```bash
adb shell pm install-existing --user 0 com.mediatek.wwtv.tvcenter
adb shell pm enable --user 0 com.mediatek.wwtv.tvcenter
```
If the commands fail stating that the apk is not found try option one if you
havent done it. If the commands fail stating that an app is already installed
try checking the tv if the input switcher works or the "LiveTV" app is installed.
If not then your SOL (from what I know).
If that doesnt work try looking at the path `/system_ext/priv-app/LiveTV` as
that is where I found the apk. I also have a mirror for it [here](/public/blog/LiveTV.apk).
#### 2. Removing preloaded applications
