The dashboard on the TV

The dashboard can also run directly on the TV's home screen, driven by the remote, for when there is no phone or laptop to hand.

The Apps tab there can install from the Homebrew Channel catalog: Install apps lists it by title, with updates first, and the preview with its services, root access switch and free space is read and confirmed with the remote.

A first install adds it; updating an existing one leaves the home screen alone. It can be added or removed at any time from the Server tab, which is also where it turns up for anyone who updated in place rather than re-running the installer.

Removing it changes nothing else, since the dashboard reaches any browser on the network regardless. Where a TV will not take the app, the control is hidden and everything else works as before.
