Samsung also add advertising to their Smart TV UI. I'd recommend avoiding at all costs. I wrote a guide on blocking them via DNS here, these days it's probably easier just to get a Pi-Hole.

- kuhhk 8y agoI just never connected my TV to the internet. There’s plenty of other ways to make your tv “smart”... but you’re right, a PiHole would be useful to block the ads on those streaming devices too
- petepete 8y agoThe Prime, YouTube and iPlayer apps work just as well on the TV as the Chromecast (the TV just appears in the cast to list) and overall does a very good job. I just dislike the ads from Samsung. They weren't there for the first six months after I bought the TV and were released in a firmware 'upgrade' without warning. Shitty behaviour at best. I'm no longer going to buy anything Samsung and ever time a Samsung TV related post is made here or on Reddit, I'll post my link.
