The Vizio TV that you bought with hard-earned cash has a new feature; Jump Ads. Vizio will first identify what is on your screen and then place interactive banner ads over live TV programs.
LG and Samsung have both redesigned their Smart TV platform to more prominently display ads and highlight content from partners, much like Android TV. Meanwhile, owners of Roku TVs have complained about banner ads on live TV.
Vizio is no stranger to Smart TV ads and the company is now taking it a step further with so-called Jump Ads.
- "Jump Ads represent yet another step in VIZIO's ongoing mission to unify the smart TV experience with features that benefit viewers, content providers and advertisers," said Adam Bergman, VP of sales, Vizio Ads.

Thanks for the reply, pTamok !
I was so frustrated a few minutes ago. I was fuming mad that our government grants these big guys rights to do things like this via patent and copyright law.
I am extremely concerned with what I see as the enforced ignorantization of America by our own elected government.
I have relatives in their own family businesses, and they have woes far greater than mine when it comes to losing control of their own stuff and being compelled and bullied over the internet by those who study how laws are made, and of how little importance these law makers see the entrepreneur.
Again, thanks for the info how to work around this issue. I have downloaded it ( while that still works ) .
I feel sad for our kids, who are gonna have to deal with being subordinate to machines.
