On an unrelated note, I am pretty upset that my Samsung ~$1200 TV has ads built into it.

Don't connect it to the interwebs. I don't have mine connected and have never seen an ad (granted it's two years old, so maybe it's only more recent models).

How is Netflix on that?

Great when you're furnishing the Netflix via HDMI.

I think this is the most sane answer. Yes we do not want 'smart TVs' and we should vote with our wallet... But when all else fails why not 'hack'[1] it?

Netflix are testing adverts unfortunately. https://www.google.co.nz/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/tv-and-ra...

I almost want to sign back up for Netflix just so I can cancel the first time they show me an ad.

It’s great, my Apple TV doesn’t show ads either, it’s kind of their “thing”. Thanks for asking!

I'm looking at a chromecast ultra. It'll do Netflix with 4K and HDR, plus all the other chromecast apps.

Plug in a set top box.
