it will literally turn itself on to deliver an advertisement if you power it off while in an app.

Name and shame that brand.

The more the word is spread about who the worse offenders are, the more people can effectively vote with their wallet.

It's a visio.

Literally the cheapest 32inch TV that best buy had.

It's absolutely unusable with the ads disabled.

Horrific television.
