Smart TV - Ads on the Menu Bar

[MrShak1982]

Surely there must be a way to disable this? If I'd known I'd be getting this I'd have brought a different brand. It's annoying me to the point where I'm serious considering getting rid. Sounds dramatic but it feels invasive.

This is a violation of our privacy, I will be watching every firmware to see if Samsung try and break our TV for blocking their invasive adverts.

I got ridge of tHem by blocking a few domains. Samsungads.com for example. Use opendns.com or similar..

Next time you are in an electronics store pretend to be interested in the most expensive Samsung tv and ask about add and see what they say.  Would be interested to if the lie in the store.

Yep yo-yo can see other posts

[Philip8]

Type see other posts. there are a few domains you need to block (not all)

[Philip8]

See the other replies. Just need to block the domains use opendns.com if you need to

I have tried blocking samsungads.com by logging into my internet provider account online but it didn't work. I have called the store where I bought the TV - they said only they have no control over it.

I disabled this but it did not remove the ads.
