    You can use adb to do it. First, install a third party launcher, then run these commands after connecting to adb over network or USB:

    adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.tvrecommendations
    
    adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.tvlauncher
    

    If you run these commands before installing a third party launcher, you will just get a black screen, and will have to install the launcher over adb.

    You can also uninstall other bloatware using the same command, but replacing the package name with whatever you want. If it breaks something, or if you just want the package installed again, you can re-enable it with adb shell cmd package install-existing com.name.of.package

    I’d recommend LeanbackOnFire for a third party launcher.
