OT - Ad on Panasonic TV
by felix swart
Hi all,
Been a lurker here for some time, and intend to attend a meeting in the
future, when my daughter is a bit older.
Have an OT question that someone may have advice on.
Panasonic have a 'feature' called Viera which provides online access to
various services.
After I updated my Freeview channel information today, every time I power
on the TV an ad appears for about 1 second on the bottom of 1/5 of the
screen. I was not asked to opt-in to this ad and find it outrageous that
Panasonic would take it upon themselves to sell me to advertisers after I
have bought their TV!
If I unplug the internet connection to the TV the ad does not appear, but I
am left with a lessened experience than what I paid for.
I have contacted the ASA and Ofcom online.
Is there anything else I can do? Contact a politician??
Thanks,
Felix
