r/VizioTV

Bought this long before Walmart bought Vizio yet this damn ad pops on every time I turn on the tv. I don’t even have nor do I want a Walmart account. Any way to make it stop?

I’ve powered off and on. Any other ideas?

It started with this strange behavior where the volume control bar would sit on the screen forever, and every time I’d try to increase volume, it would go right back down. But, if I started something on a streaming service, it would go away and I could adjust volume normally. Unplugging the tv and plugging back in didn’t work, nor did a hard restart. Still while weird, it’s been manageable.

Then I had a couple of times where the tv would have this glistening sort of glitch to the picture. I switched out the HDMI that came with my Roku for another one and it seemed to solve the problem.

Now (photo attached because I can’t upload the video for some reason), the input options were on screen the second I turned on the tv, and they were endlessly scrolling. I unplugged the tv, changed the batteries on the Vizio remote, still did it. And then it stopped again once I started streaming something, but I had to change the input back to my HDMI port, and for the first time got a brief message about using the right HDMI cable (I’m using the same one I’ve used for years).

Any ideas or info?! Thanks in advance!
