I bought a Vizio TV as a "cheap" replacement for my daughter's TV that stopped working properly after 10 years. It's bad enough I had to register it through Vizio AND Walmart, and had to agree to 4 pages of "we watch everything you do" agreements, just to unbrick the TV. All we use it for is our Firestick. I dont care about it's streaming capabilities. I want "On" and "Volume". The rest is handled by the Firestick and the Firestick remote.
But, this blasted thing changes to the Vizio Home input every 3-6 hours, and pops up an ad banner for something (Dish Network, YouTube, random this and that) that we dont use/never have any intentions of using. Now, the Firestick doesn't work, because its no longer on the correct input/source. I have to dig out the Vizio remote to decline the ad and change inputs.
Now, imagine, this is a young child that is getting unsolicited ads forced on her, and her having to come get us to reset everything.
It appears I made a grand mistake getting a Vizio. Or, is there a way to prevent the TV ads from intercepting the Firestick broadcast?
