My TV is a smart TV whose smart features I never, ever use because the first thing it does is switch to the input my Apple TV is on.

Ironic really that the reason I chose an LG is because webOS seems less cunty than Android TV and whatever shit Samsung are offering. But I still never use it.

I was pleasantly surprised that my Sony tv has a basic option so you can use it just as a screen. All smart stuff disabled.

Every time they do an update, things get worse. But my last TV had some dying pixels, so there’s no going back.

Can you install separate launchers on webOS? I installed a launcher on my Android TV and haven’t seen an ad since, even with smart features.
