Samsung TV Intrusive Ad

[James6112]

Hi
I have a Samsung Smart Tv , which is pushing a pathetic ‘Vevo Pop’ Ad. A good way to put you off Vevo Pop. Not noticed it before.
A trivial thing but it plays on my OCD side!
Why do they think they can push such crap to my menu..
Any tips on how to get rid please?

My Samsung sits behind a network proxy (squid) and is only allowed Internet for certain sites - Netflix, Samsung updates, etc. I also use an ad blocker (pinhole) but in theory doesn't affect anything as the 'allowed' sites shouldn't be on the ad list.

Pretty much the only way I could stop the ads tbh, and agree it is annoying.

I also use ad blocker to minimize that noisy crap. I installed blokada after reading the https://www.firesticktricks.com/block-ads-firestic... tutorial. It helped me to get rid of pop-up ads appearing on the apps only. I'm also curious, how have you set restrictions on Internet access to other applications (except Netflix, Samsung updates, etc.)?

I found out how to delete the station from the Samsung stations, the ads never returned.
So from being a station I may (unlikely) have looked at, it’s now gone forever.
That’ll teach them!
