I don't think "jailbreak and install your own software on your TV" would be common even without the DMCA...and it would still be necessary, nothing would be stopping the companies from writing these stock software systems.

Active regulation of the marketplace is needed.

Without the DMCA you could run legitimate businesses reselling jailbroken TVs with features vastly superior to what the manufacturers are offering.
