On: How to break free from smart TV ads and tracking

[anonym29]

This must be a very new or not universal feature. I have an Element E4AA70R 70" 4K UHD HDR10 Roku TV I picked up in mid-2023 for well below $1000. It has never once been connected to the internet, and it doesn't nag me.

I rented an apartment that had an LG. It showed a FOMO-inducing popup every week.

Might still be possible to jailbreak LG TVs. Not sure what the quality of the homebrew TV firmware situation is like though. Maybe not stable enough for family use.

I have an LG C3. The old jailbreak no longer works.

I keep avoiding the upgrade to keep the possibility open. At some point they force upgrade your firmware.

Any information on model number so people can compare, learn from your experience, etc?
