I don't have this issue with my higher end hi sense, but the article states it's for the lower end models. So this proves that companies are lowering the costs of TV's and offsetting it by selling your data and forcing you to watch ads they get paid for.

Mine is connected to the internet and no issues. If they ever do this to my TV, internet is off and i'm buying a shield pro.

Why wait? Streaming services are only getting worse, and we can only really fight back one way. Yo ho!
