A lot of the fire tvs can be rooted! There’s a great community over at XDA with all the needed resources.

I have two 4k sticks (1st gen) rooted and debloated running Leanback launcher. When you cut out all the junk, it really is (or was?) the best 4k streaming device under $50.

I‘ll definitely have to try if that’s possible with my Grundig TV that has a FireTV built in.

Coolcool! At the very least, you should be able to block Amazon from pushing updates.
