Are there any Smart TVs that aren't stuffed with ads? Apple TV might be the least bad, but it still allows apps to display recommended nonsense on the home screen when they are highlighted.
- tomComb 3y agoMy Sony, which comes with Google TV, is no worse than Apple TV in its default configuration, and I've read about other people installing alternate home pages with no ads.

- whalesalad 3y agoRe: apps I don’t use - I uninstall those :)
- gainda 3y agoI will also add that in my experience it is typically recommending shows you are in progress with, or next in a queue, or on some list you have curated before recommending anything else. So quite handy at times.
- imp0cat 3y agoGoogle TV's can be run in "basic tv" mode if that is your thing.
