> they are ad-free

The home screen on my LG TV seems to devote the top 60% of the page to sponsored content. Is this not an issue for you?

I understand where you are coming from, but I personally think that it's reasonable for a TV to show me sponsored content that is TV shows. I don't see this any different to how Netflix or Spotify show sponsored TV shows or music.

But my friend has a Samsung TV and it shows him ads for things he can buy from eBay, ads for games etc. in a similar area .. and yeah that's nonsense, that would really get on my nerves.

I think you can switch it off. Poke around on menus
