    You don’t need a dumb TV, just switch the input. If your TV shows ads when connected to other inputs, yeet that TV out of your house today.

      Disconnect it from your network. Hard to serve ads if it can’t contact the servers it is pulling them from.

        Got a new TV a month ago. Fucked up and connected it to wireless, no idea what I was thinking. The only way to kill the connection (from the TV side) was a factory reset.

        Windows is like that now. Once you enter an internet connection, you’re screwed. No way out but a full reinstall.

        Yup, working on setting up VLANs so I can keep the stuff I like (DLNA from the NAS) without the stuff I don’t (ads).
