Getting started

From the project's README ("Use it"):

  1. Turn the TV on and connect it to the same Wi-Fi or LAN as this computer.
  2. Open LGroot. It scans automatically.
  3. Click your TV.
  4. A prompt appears on the TV asking to allow SlopBro. Press OK / Yes — you have 60 seconds.
  5. Wait. The TV installs Homebrew Channel and shows its own reboot prompt.
  6. Restart the TV. Homebrew Channel appears in the app list.

Nothing about the TV changes until you press OK. If the TV never asks, nothing was installed.
