    Yeah my Samsung TV has ads as soon as you turn the thing on. It slows if right down as well.

    Ironically, sometimes those ads are for Xbox Game Pass.

      I just bought a Samsung tv, will use it with an Apple TV 4K so I don’t have to deal with their shitty ads and software

        Yeah I’m considering using something else other than the built-in Samsung smart features. The slowness bugs me the most! I haven’t considered using an Apple TV device. Will take a look!

          Yeah, it looks quite snappy and no ads whatsoever. You can also use it from your phone so that’s a gg.

          I also looked at the shield, but it seems it’s not very supported and it has ads if I’m not mistaken
