How was I supposed to know what kind of device you meant? You weren’t specific at all. Literally buy any other TV and then just never connect the WiFi. Done.
I’ve bought 2 Sony android TVs in the last 5 years (one 5 years ago and one a couple of weeks ago), both are connected to the internet. Neither shows ads.
My old 2015 Android TV doesn’t. Neither does my LG. But the LG could be because I always disagree to all consent message or because I push all DNS traffic through AdGuard and NextDNS.
Can you recommend a manufacturer who doesn’t display ads? It doesn’t help to single out one company if they’re all doing it.
What? The device has very little to do with ads. I block ads on Android with ddg app privacy protection and Firefox + ublock origin
Your entire post is calling out Samsung, but don’t smart TV manufacturers show ads?
