My HiSense Vidaa OS TV shows ads for newer TV’s from their online store.

Is an Apple TV box a good platform choice to avoid this?

I'd probably opt for an external streaming box and simply use the TV as a monitor instead of the whole system (as it was originally)

That’s what I’m planning to do and curious if Apple TV box is a good option. Fire stick is riddled with ads. Not sure about Roku and Apple TV.

I don’t see any ads in my Apple TV interface aside from some shown in the streaming apps themselves. We’ve been very happy with ours, keeping in mind the whole family already had iPhones.
