Comment on Newly purchased Vizio TVs now require Walmart accounts to use smart features
renegadespork@lemmy.jelliefrontier.net 2 days agoMy family stayed at my house and “the TV wasn’t working,” because it doesn’t have network access and I use an Nvidia Shield instead, so they connected it to the Wi-Fi and ad overlays showed up in the menus! I’m still mad about it years later.
Luckily I dodged a bullet and it didn’t brick it or anything, and the ads went away when the internet access did. I just disconnected it from the network and manually banned the MAC address in case anyone else tries it again.

For one thing the same ad could have gotten stuck on the TV menus forever.
