I bought a Samsung TV, was pretty satisfied with it. One day it updated itself and now it has forced some kind of Samsung TV service onto itself that is very visibly promoted whenever I go to switch to a different hooked-up appliance. It annoys me to no end.
- wincy 4y agoI jailbroke my LG TV. So I have shell access but also have a decent smart TV, and I removed all the ads. Also have ad free Youtube. I like it a lot more now.
- the_biot 4y agoYou should write this up, sounds pretty interesting.
- wincy 4y agoHah I literally googled it and used this exploit in the browser. Someone else did the hard work for me. For the ads there’s some python scripts that aren’t working but it’s not super difficult to figure out. https://github.com/RootMyTV/RootMyTV.github.io https://github.com/RootMyTV/RootMyTV.github.io
- slategruen 4y agoIs LG the only mainstream TV manufacturer which allows this?
- casenjo 4y agoDid you follow a guide for this or did it on your own? A write-up would be amazing, I'd love to have ad-free Youtube on my C1
- wincy 4y agoI just used https://github.com/RootMyTV/RootMyTV.github.io https://github.com/RootMyTV/RootMyTV.github.io not sure it’ll work on the OLED TVs, I got a $200 50’ on clearance and didn’t want all the crud. I’m thinking of adding some cron jobs to it that disable it during certain hours so my kids can’t watch tv all the time and fun stuff like that.
- Pr0ject217 4y agoA guide would be interesting.
