I never connected mine to the internet. I've been told they're making that harder to do, though.

So true! And they even deny it if you ask support for help.

What the actual fuck.

This is the exact reason why my Samsung TV had its network access permissions revoked ~2 years ago

I bought one for my 90-year-old mother it’s never been connected to the Internet I bet they’re pissed not getting their back in revenue stream from her😂

My Samsung TV is about 5 years old, has been connected to WiFi in UK all that time. The Hub has received updates and I regularly use Netflix, YouTube and Prime Video on it. I've never seen an Ad (outside of YouTube obvs) appear...?

I have one. After less than 3y i reset and it doesn’t connect to their Hub to download apps again. It connects to the internet but not their hub “sound like blocked” Reached out to them said connect with local, and local has no solution but changing the main board!!!

They're the very definition of NOT good TVs if they pump ads into the menus.
