I have a hisense 40 in smart TV but it is not an android TV. It has the hisense apps and not much for browsing and apps. Is there a way to jailbreak or root the TV itself to make it an android device?
Welcome to Android Central! Does the TV actually run on Android? If it's not an Android TV set, then I doubt you can root it like an Android device. (BTW, jailbreak is a term specifically used for iOS devices.)
