This is the ISO to install CatosTV from. From now on you won't need a new one: CatosTV is a rolling release. The installer checks for updates before it starts and installs the newest version, and an installed TV gets new versions from Settings → Updates.

New since 1.0.0:

  • Updates. Settings → Updates shows what's new and installs it when you say so. Updates are signed, never start while something is playing, and bring the Arch Linux packages each version was tested with, so the system underneath only changes together with CatosTV.
  • One press on a keyboard, remote or controller wakes the TV from sleep. It used to take several presses, because the key that woke it put it straight back to sleep. Bluetooth remotes and controllers can wake it too, and so can the TV's own remote through a USB-CEC adapter.
  • If Android stops being able to open apps, CatosTV notices, goes back to Home and restarts Android for you.
  • An Android app you uninstall disappears from Home right away.

Write the ISO to a USB stick (8 GB or more) with balenaEtcher, Ventoy or dd, and check the download with the .sha256 file if you like. The README and the manual explain the rest.
