TVs that do anything more than displaying a signal exactly as it’s input shouldn’t exist.
Some of that input could do with a bit of tweaking though.
I wouldn’t mind if the TV was able to do things with the audio track, like remove background music, or lift the volume of people speaking, or erase laugh tracks/live audience hooting& hollering.
There’s probably similar manipulation that you could do on the video side (eventually, once TVs stop getting the worst processors ever, not here and now). Imagine a prompt that says “Airbrush every recognisable brand name on-screen so that it blends with the background”.
I seriously doubt if any major manufacturer would do that kind of thing though, so better get working on jailbreaking those TVs.
I used to have a mythtv box that I’d built , like, 15 years ago and it was pretty good. For a while there TV UIs were adequate enough that I didn’t need it, but it seems that maybe it’s time to build another one.

Instructions unclear. Added Starbucks coffee to every season of game of thrones
Sorry, the best we can do is always showing you subtitles by default, and not letting you permanently change that.
Yeah it’s steadily getting enshittified.
