I'm curious what the terms of usage would be, since eventually people will figure out how to block all the ads one way or another.

Also after having seen a few cheap Walmart tvs, some with very intrusive ads I think there might be a market for this

discuss

order

I’m not so convinced about this. Locked down hardware and software, not like you can download a browser plug-in.

In before anyone says “PiHole”: anyone actually doing that would be a rounding error in usage.

They make you send it back, or if you tamper with it, charge you two grand.

You mean like covering the lower screen with some black duct tape?

I imagine at some point they'll update the TVs so that the lower screen is required to use the TV (like for changing settings or something), and people will make sliding/pivoting physical ad blockers for the second screen.

I'm curious if you'll be able to turn the damn thing off or prevent it from turning itself on.
