ares-install/ares-xxx works fine with the provided key. I cannot however,

The ssh connection must be explicitly configured to use `ssh-rsa`. For example, add the following SSH configuration with your TV’s IP:

### `~.ssh/config`

```auto
Host tv
  HostName xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
  Port 9922
  User prisoner
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/tv_webos
  HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
  PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa

```

### Test

```auto
$ ssh tv

```

### Remove SSH passkey (optional):

This provides faster logins without requiring the typed passcode:

```auto
$ ssh-keygen -p -f ~/.ssh/tv_webos

```
