> some other brands have obnoxious ads in their UI Can anyone explain this? Are TV manufacturers now dishing out ads themselves and not the cable company? I have a not-so-good dumb TV and have not bought a new one for a long time. I'm completely out of the loop here.

> Are TV manufacturers now dishing out ads themselves Yes. They have built-in OSes with Netflix, etc apps. They ship ads for the UI to display. It's as ridiculous as it sounds. The best solution is to never allow the TV onto the Internet and use some external device that doesn't hate you.
