So what happens when the streaming boxes start running ads?

Never connect modern TV to internet.

The TV as a monitor is the only way to use it. If it can’t do that alone, then don’t buy it. A TV should never know your WiFi password and should be blind to the internet. View quoted note →

I just don’t like the interruption and the lack of audio balance. Sometimes I’m much more patient with them and enjoy the mix, like when it’s local ads among local content.
