Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing

  Sounds like a reason to never connect your display to the internet

    Or not owning a smart TV at all

      Not owning a smart TV almost equals not owning a TV, unless you already own a rather old one (like I luckily do).
      Never connecting a TV to the internet is a solution for the smart TV problem; at least for now.

  Look, I know this is an old meme, but I think it checks out:

  I really think this could be solved with a trebuchet. The first time a Hisense 55" comes barreling through one of their exec’s windows, with ‘Fuck your Ads’ spray painted on it, they’ll get the message.

  It must just be a coincidence… but… Quite mysteriously, my HiSense TV never shows any ads. Ever. Not really sure why. I use a mini-PC (with a fewTb of hard drive and internet connectivity) to serve all my media to the TV. The TV has never been connected to the web directly.
