We recently purchased a TV for a short conference we were having. We didn't have much time to pick it out, so we picked out a reasonably well-reviewed name-brand television (my apologies, I can't remember the brand off-hand).
Like your experience, the device required an immediate network update.
Once the update was complete, I was astounded to see the television automatically download promotional advertisements and display them prominently on the main menu of the television, amidst the standard options.
If we hadn't required the television for the conference, I would have returned it to the store then and there. I anticipate that we'll see more of this in the future, and I don't look forward to it.
