Non-smart TVs
TVs with electronic/digital tuning (not to be confused with digital TV, digital switchover, or digital tuners) could date all the way back to the mid-1970s.
Just like other appliances with digital logic, their programs, including tuning and channel memorization, signal source switching, on-screen display, volume control, and sometimes other features, are executed either via discrete logic chips, ASICs, or ROM & microprocessor/microcontroller combination.
Unfortunately, these programs have rarely been archived and emulated, if at all. Dumps of the units may or may not exist, and if so, as a manufacturer user update (ex. Emerson) or as a publically shared file shared by a user orignally intended for repairsmen troubleshooting a corrupted OS.
Other Platforms
Vizio SmartCast, Foxconn, Opera TV(?), and Syabas OS are confirmed either to have all apps based on HTML5 or Flash, and therefore are applicable more for the likes of Flashpoint to preserve.
