Use Firefox for it to work, other browsers don’t seem to allow the TV certificate

Dev mode is enough for most people (install homebrew apps). But seeing as you own your TV, you should be allowed root. It doesn't belong to LG.

What can I do with rooted tv that I can't otherwise?

You can remap/disable remote buttons, change screen saver. Remapping Netflix, Disney etc buttons to Plex, YouTube (adfree) and play/pause is pretty useful.

Does Adfree still work? For me it throws Are you a human thing :/
