I have a "smart" TV, but I don't connect it to the internet.

For now I got around these by disabling "I consent to Internet-Based Advertisements" under Terms & Privacy. And as failover I run a Pi-hole to catch any extras

Just wait til your fridge starts displaying ice cream ads when it notices you're on a diet.

Happens on their phones too. Not that much and only comes as a popup but still. Wtf @SamsungMobile I didn't pay 1lakh to buy your most premium phone so that you can show me ads 🤷

A #PiHole should do the trick, no?

I have a samsung and if can’t connect to mothership then no smart features work. No local NAS acces or youtube or anything. No ads tough. But my Philips has ads in main menu.
