"Titan OS is the European, independent Linux-based smart TV operating system from Titan OS S.L, the technology, entertainment, and advertising company based in Barcelona."

Also :

"Titan OS operates on a Chromium browser, offering support for standard audio and video codecs, streaming protocols, and DRM options"

I don't watch TV, but have a non-smart Samsung hooked up to a laptop running Linux. I wonder how locked down or hackable this OS would be? Would an EU based system be better for privacy? I'd love to have a better option for when I update the "TV" I have in my living room.

The shift toward open source in consumer electronics is long overdue. The real question is whether Titan OS will allow users to actually control what data leaves their TV. Most smart TV platforms treat the device as a data collection endpoint first and a TV second. Open source at least gives someone the ability to audit that.

Does it generate enough revenue to match the google/roku tv hardware cost subsidies? If so, how, if not Titan TVs cost more?
