What can I do with a rooted TV? Can I install VLC, FireFox etc.?

Hallo,
I strolled here and there through the website and find it interesting. Since it seems a bit complicated and even dangerous I'd like to ask what is the benefit of rooting my TV (UE40H6600SV)?
What happens with my PVR-Recordings? I guess since they are encrypted with the original firmware, I cannot watch the recordings afterwards, right?
Or is there a method to make them readable anywhere in the process?
So my aim would be:
1. Make future recordings which can just used anywhere as any normal video file.
2. Be able to install VLC or any other app which can produce any video stream (for example my pc desktop without having to use a long HDMI cable, network cable is there an more practical) on my TV
3. Install a more useful browser e.g. firefox or even TOR than this awkward samsung app.
Is this all or any of these ends possible?
Where do I get the apps from or how can I install it after rooting? This I could not figure out.
Thnx
Zattoo
