stupid smart TVs

Why are there such idiotic smart TVs that can't even turn off bluetooth?!

There are at least two such devices in my apartment block and my bluetooth audio transmitter always tries to connect to them instead of my headphones. I have already talked to the people owning those TVs and we tried to disable BT, but it just isn't possible. This is driving me insane!

Wait why are complaining about the stupid devices of others instead of your one that doesn't allow you to manage its connections?

I would be furious at my stuff doing stupid shit not that of others.

Yeah at first I thought it was his TV. Why are they even paired to begin with? It's his device doing it, the TVs are just complying.

It seems the neighbours device is constantly in pairing mode. If your device has no display, you have to rely on only your devices wanting to pair at the time you need to.
