    Probably preaching to the choir here but when you buy a TV:

    • Don’t connect it to the internet
    • Plug in an external box
    • Make sure it works as expected

    It’s a lot easier to replace a $20 streaming box if it goes rogue than it is a $400+ TV. Disconnecting from the internet ensures they can’t force these sorts of changes on you later down the line.

    🤷‍♂️ Good luck with that — I disconnected my Roku tv from the internet a long time ago.

    I don’t know that these ads escape the Roku channel… at least I haven’t seen an ad outside of there. Hopefully something better comes along in that price bracket.
