What's the current state of Android TV?

Can you flash them with custom firmware to remove all the spy shit while keeping "smart" tv functionality?

The last time I checked out Android TVs a year ago, they all had a crippling design flaw: When turning the TV on (or resuming from standby), they always return to the home screen. There's no option or setting to have them return to the last input or channel they were on before being turned off.

I'm not buying a TV that won't even remember the input I selected.
