The point is I wouldn't have to change my DNS if they didn't inject adverts into my homepage. When I bought the TV there was no mention of Adverts included.
Amazon sold two versions of their kindle, one with and one without ads, not an issue for me. As customer the pro/con relationship is clear. I get what I pay for.
These ads slow down my TV, waste electricity, waste my time more importantly. It's not my problem as a customer if other people mis-configure their TV and have to call support, that's a UX problem, I've never met anyone who has mis-configured their DNS on their phone. If you've updated your DNS on your TV before it's a very long process, using arrow keys to select characters, it's not something you accidentally do.
I paid for a TV and I didn't get what was advertised. The argument that they do it to protect dumb users is non-sense because the TVs that don't have this configurable in the settings are the ones mainly bundled with ads.
Most important, TV ads also may show scary or sexually suggestive material to my young children because the TV doesn't know how or when to be more discreet.
