I possess a television unit, specifically a "Jadoo 4", running on Android 4.2 with a launcher installed. I'm curious about connecting a USB device and switching to a more TV-optimized operating system. The issue is this device operates on Android, and many applications behave poorly when using the IR remote—like scrolling through YouTube requires a mouse pointer mode that feels unpleasant, and the overall interface is quite subpar. I don't want to replace it with the standard Android version because it includes a live TV feature from my home, which is a great way to stay updated. My goal is to install an Android variant specifically designed for televisions, giving it a more smart TV experience. By the way, it seems to have around 1GB of RAM, but after accounting for used and free space, it's about 814MB. It appears to have four gigabytes of storage and a quad-core processor. I'm not certain about these details. (http://jadootv.com/jadoo4/) It also supports USB, Wi-Fi, and SD card connections, and uses HDMI output. My main usage is streaming Netflix and YouTube. I've also experimented with Linux and virtual machines before if that might be useful.
